BA Philosophy/Ethics (polyvalent dual major) at University of Freiburg

Philosophy explores how we should live, what constitutes a good life, and the nature of goodness, offering systematic study and the opportunity to teach ethics at secondary schools, preparing students for reflection, research, and practical application. Philosophy explores the foundations of thinking, acting, and being across epistemology, logic, ethics, political philosophy, and aesthetics.

What you will study

Philosophy deals with questions that it is not possible to ask or answer within the context of daily life or scientific research, questions concerning things that are taken for granted in daily life and are simply assumed in scientific inquiry. Thus, as philosophy asks questions that go beyond our trusted action orientations and the empirically validated knowledge of science, it does not lead to knowledge in the usual sense of the word.
