Philosophy of Knowledge
In the context of this contemporary age, the reliability of objective truth and certainty of knowledge is questioned and even doubted. This course, also known as Philosophy of Knowledge, while exploring the various theories of truth, aims to understand the notion of truth as in the Aristotelian-Thomistic theory of knowledge. It thus leads the students to respond to the epistemological issues with greater clarity and confidence.
