On completion of this module students should: 1. have an understanding of some key philosophical issues and arguments; 2. be able to construct and analyse philosophical arguments; 3. have begun to acquire the habits of independent thought and critical reasoning; 4. be able to construct a well structured essay developing a philosophical argument. If you are taking this module as an elective - you may be interested in pursuing a Structured Elective programme in Philosophy (this will entail taking two more Philosophy electives). Your University Transcript could show that you have a Structured Elective in either Existential Philosophy & Critical Theory or Philosophy of Mind depending on which other electives you choose.
