Overall Objective of Courses of M. A. in Philosophy Philosophy is the heart of all known branches of academic discipline and it centrally regulates the activities and functions of our body, mind and intellect. Likewise Philosophy is the 'gem' of all human wit and wisdom. This is the reason that the Ph. D. degree holder in Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Botany obtains the degree of "Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science" or "Doctor of Philosophy in Geology" and so on and so forth. There are four pillars of Philosophy - Theoretical Philosophy (Metaphysics and Epistemology), Practical Philosophy (Ethics, Social and Political Philosophy, Aesthetics), Logic and History of Philosophy. It was kept in mind that all these components may remain included in our courses of study with balanced focus on Indian and Western Philosophy. This programme with all its credits may help one become a good human being. Philosophy tells the difference between what man does and what he should do. It also helps one to know the goal of life. Most of the times, in life, man gets into dilemma and does not find himself able to get at the right direction and take the right decision. Such situations of life are handled in a better way by the knowledge of different schools of philosophy, Indian and Western. The participants of this programme will be simultaneously prepared for Civil Services and other competitive exams. The moral values learned would be extremely beneficial for their professional success. Some of the participants with bright career can join the noble profession of teaching in higher education. Corporate would in full of stress now-a-days and there is a demand for their stress management, mental health and behavioural integrity. The participants of this programme can choose a career to become life coach to such target groups for their spiritual enlightment. n'kZu'kkL= Philosophy ,e- ,- izFke lseLs Vj M.A. I Semester Course - Indian Metaphysics (Hkkjrh; rŸoehekalk) Type of Course - Core Course (C.C.)
