In Philosophy, we know that good thinking takes time and effort. Even though it is easy to give your opinions, it is just as easy for them to be ill-considered, clichéd and banal. We also know that there are ways to help you think more effectively. Studying philosophy is one of them. Philosophy students hone their skills in expressing themselves in speech and writing. You will learn how to think in line with and using a tradition more than two thousand years old. An exchange of ideas in Plato’s dialogues can suddenly seem as topical as the latest social debate. Studying philosophy also gives you the courage to express yourself on important issues when you feel you have something to say.
