Program Strengths

Ethics, social, and political issues are an area of strong interest at Carleton. You can get started in this area by taking the limited enrolment, first-year seminar on Moral Issues. Other related introductory courses include Ethics and Philosophy of Religion, and Contemporary Moral, Social, and Religious Issues. As you progress in the program, you'll be able to select from a range of topical courses such as human rights, bioethics, environmental ethics, Marxist philosophy, censorship, truth and propaganda, and computer ethics, to name a few. In addition, we offer a specialization in Philosophy, Ethics, and Public Affairs. / / Philosophical study of the mind, language, and knowledge is another area of strength for Carleton philosophers. You can begin your studies in this stream with a first-year seminar, Looking at Philosophy, that introduces issues such as logical thought, the existence of God, free will, and the nature of reality. Related introductory courses include Knowledge and Reality, and Mind and Truth. More advanced topics in this area include courses such as Personal Identity and the Self, and Language and Communication. We also offer courses in the Philosophy of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, as well as Logic and Philosophy of Science.
