About the course
Practical Philosophy C consists of three sub-courses: two elective courses of 7.5 credits each and an essay writing course (a degree thesis for a Bachelor's degree) of 15 credits.
The elective courses vary from semester to semester. Courses which have been offered previously include Egalitarianism, The Philosophy of Death, Normativity: Theoretical and Practical, Writing and Doing Philosophy, Recent Work on Disagreement, and Population Ethics. See upcoming elective sub-courses.
The essay course further improves your ability to write academic texts as well as your ability to develop and express a philosophical argumentation with a high level of precision, stringency and clarity.
Note: Exchange students whose home universities do not accept essays at this level may replace the essay/thesis course with two additional elective courses (see the page Bachelor's Elective Sub-Courses for courses available). However, with this option the exchange student will not qualify for a Swedish Bachelor's degree with Practical Philosophy as the main field of study.
