In establishing World Philosophy Day in 2005, the General Conference of UNESCO highlighted the importance of this discipline, especially for young people, underlining that “philosophy is a discipline that encourages critical and independent thought and is capable of working towards a better understanding of the world and promoting tolerance and peace”. Vision To commence B.A Philosophy in the near future and later M.A Philosophy To start Yoga classes for the general public. |
