The Department of Philosophy at St. Stephen’s College has a rich legacy of 140 years and is the oldest Department of Delhi University, with its founding principal Rev. Samuel Scott Allnutt himself teaching a few courses in philosophy. In subsequent years the Department of Philosophy grew from strength to strength and started its MA Programme from the year 1907. The department is fortunate to have had its founding teachers in Rev. S. S. Allnutt, Samuel Ghosh, N. K. Sen, F. F. Monk, and SK Bose who have contributed immensely to the growth of the College when they occupied the highest administrative positions, including that of a Principal, or as Dean and Registrar of Delhi University. The Philosophy department is one of the smaller departments with a batch strength of ten students chosen approximately from fifteen to eighteen hundred applications. The Department mainly recruits for three set of courses namely, BA Honours, BA Program and MA Honours for equal strength of students in each batch with equally competitive pool of applications. While BA students study in the campus, the MA students attend their core classes at the main Department of the University. Considering the rigour involved in doing philosophy the small batches of meritorious students ensure the quality of pedagogy, wherein instead of traditional method of lecturing that is employed in the large classes, the teachers here engage students via interactive sessions. Everyone is recognised in the department and a...

The philosophy faculty places a strong emphasis on research and personal interaction with students. Our program is designed to meet the needs of two kinds of students — those wishing to prepare for doctoral work in philosophy and those seeking an individualized course of study with a more interdisciplinary focus. Flexible Dual-Degree Program in Philosophy Students must already have been both admitted and deposited for the master's degree program in another approved DU master's program *before* applying to the MA in Philosophy. Proposal Process for Flexible Dual-Degree Program After formal admission into both programs, the dean, chair, or director of each degree program and both program advisors, must carefully compare the requirements for each program and approve the proposal. The student must then submit a copy of the original requirements for each degree (printout from the unit Web site or copy from the student handbook is acceptable), and the flexible dual-degree proposal to the Office of Graduate Education. The philosophy department will provide a coursework template for the student to include with ...

Welcome to the Department of Philosophy. Here we ask timeless questions about the nature of reality and the possibility of human knowledge, and discuss contemporary issues relating to nanotechnology, artificial intelligence and euthanasia, all while studying historical texts essential to the beginning of many human civilizations. We aim to help you develop the skills to form sound reasoning and arguments, formulate concepts and questions clearly, and solve theoretical and real-world problems intelligently. Our Programs Our program features an undergraduate major and minor that introduce you to the the major figures and thoughts in Western philosophy as well as philosophical thought in our contemporary society. We also offer a collaborative dual-degree MA. Whether you are an undergraduate seeking to explore the depth of philosophy for the first time or a graduate student intent on expanding your horizons alongside another degree, our faculty are thrilled to help you on your journey and collaborate on research projects. The Value of a Philosophy Degree A degree in philosophy emphasizes clarity of thought and development of exceptional reasoning skills. Our graduates have found that the transferrable skills of sound arguments and critical thinking that our philosophy program nurtures greatly complements another major in virtually all other disciplines. As well, undergraduate philosophy majors are among the most employable, according to a 2011 Georgetown University study, with...
