The Department of Philosophy was started at Government College Mananthavady in the year 2001 as a complementary course of B.A English. Now in FYGP the department offers various Minor, Multi- Disciplinary and Value Added Courses.
Why Study Philosophy?
According to Aristotle “logic is the instrument by means of which we come to know anything”. So it becomes extremely important that we must study about ‘thinking itself’ before proceeding to other sciences. 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”. Again recognizing its universal appeal, on 11 December 2014, the United Nations proclaimed 21 June as the International Day of Yoga. Thus Philosophy has this unique distinction of being accredited as and proclaimed by UNSECO as international days.
