Introduction
The department of philosophy at Government Islamia College for Women aims to enrich the humanistic
orientation with philosophical consistency and precision. We signify the importance of clarity in
expression and logical reasoning. We believe that philosophy augments conversations in other subjects
like humanities, social sciences, physical sciences and arts. Philosophy offers vital contributions to all
areas of inquiry, thus raising interdisciplinary conversations and bringing philosophical tools and
methods to find solution to topics of public interests. We seek to reflect on the questions and their
answers in a systematic, explicit and rigorous way relying on discussion and analysis to draw diverse
conclusions. Western traditional philosophical abstracts are investigated in our classrooms.
Our program has strengths in epistemology, philosophy of mind, metaphysics, ethics, and history of
philosophy. We also engage with other disciplines helping them to improve their foundations, methods
and concepts.
