Description:
Like all other living beings, man struggle for existence. But while the lower beings struggle more or less blindly without any conscious plan and purpose, and work by instinct, man uses the superior gift of his intellect to understand the condition and meaning of the struggle and to devise plan and instrument to ensure success. He wishes to lead his life in the light of his knowledge of himself and the world, taking into consideration not merely the immediate results of his action, but even their far-reaching consequences. Desire for knowledge springs, therefore, from the rational nature of man. Philosophy is an attempt to satisfy this very reasonable desire. It is not, therefore, a mere luxury, but a necessity.
The Department of Philosophy at YSM does not offers Honours programs. However, it is very relevant as it caters the need of people having interest in Indian and Western Philosophy. It also helps to understand the various ideologies and principles embedded in the study of Political Science, Economics and linguistic subjects.
