The discipline of philosophy is concerned with sustained reflection on central questions of human existence and experience. It provides an opportunity for the study of, and reflection on, issues of ultimate and general nature, which have exercised the minds of humanity throughout the ages. These issues relate to questions of ultimate meaning and human values, which instil in the human mind a sense of wonder and leads to inquiry and perennial investigation of questions that have deep significance in their relation to the human condition and the nature of being in general.
