Theoretical Philosophy C

Education facts

Code: 5FT013

Theoretical Philosophy C consists of three sub-courses: two elective courses of 7.5 credits each and an essay writing course (a degree thesis for a Bachelor's degree) of 15 credits. The elective courses vary from semester to semester. Examples of previous electives are Modality: How the World Could, Would and Must Be; Ancient Philosophy as a Way of Life; Perspective in Language and Thought; Applied Epistemology; Between Fiction and Non-Fiction; Conceptual Engineering; Plato's Gorgias; Philosophy of Time. [See upcoming elective sub-courses](https://uppsala.instructure.com/courses/110565). Upon completion of the course, you are expected to have made a first contact with your own research, presented in the form of an essay of 15 credits. Note: Exchange students whose home universities do not accept essays at this level may replace the essay/thesis course with two additional elective courses (see the page [Bachelor's Elective Sub-Courses](https://uppsala.instructure.com/courses/110565) for courses available). However, with this option the exchange student will not qualify for a Swedish Bachelor's degree with Theoretical Philosophy as the main field of study.
