Philosophy begins in the human’s experience of reality, being the most ancient of all intellectual disciplines; philosophy is the mother of the human and natural sciences. As the love of wisdom, Philosophy is more than just knowledge, seeking to open its students’ minds to critically become aware of illusions, fraudulent claims, and flawed reasoning.Philosophy at University of South Africa attempts to explore wisdom in both the African and Western intellectual traditions, making ourselves relevant to the changing socio-cultural environment of our continent.
