Philosophy at Parkside

Philosophy graduates at Parkside have developed skill in the presentation, analysis and criticism of arguments, and insight into human values and the rational bases that have been proposed for them. They learn to listen critically and understand opposing views, to identify and appreciate the values behind a person’s thinking, and to hold their own in debate. As a result, they have been able to pursue a variety of vocational interests, including further education in philosophy, art history, journalism, law, psychology, library science, business management, and religious ministry. Our graduates who did not choose to go on with their education have found employment in social work, hotel management, and a variety of other areas in business.
