Yup UG in analytical Phil, more than 10 years ago. Definitely worth doing.

I think you can’t study Phil and not be significantly changed if you understand what you’re studying.

You study things like the Munchhausen trilemma, Bertrand’s watch, Grue, Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, para-logics, Kantian epistemology, Quine and so on. I literally can’t think how you can understand these things and end up not a different person.




I second this opinion. And the process continues long after graduating. I received my degree 13 years ago, and my positions have shifted dramatically in some areas, thanks in part to journal access through my uni and libgen to be fair.
