Welcome to the Department of Philosophy, Rishi Bankim Chandra College for Women, an esteemed Institution dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and the exploration of fundamental questions about existence, ethics, and the nature of reality. The department was initiated in 13th July, 1984, after the trifurcation of the mother institute and the Philosophy Honours course was introduced in 2001 under the University of Calcutta.

At Rishi Bankim Chandra College for Women’s Philosophy Department, we believe that Philosophy is not merely a subject but a way of life, enabling individuals to engage with the world in a reflective and thoughtful manner. Our dedicated faculty members are passionate about teaching and guiding students through the fascinating realms of Metaphysics, Ethics, Epistemology, Logic, and more. Through our rigorous curriculum and engaging learning experiences, we strive to cultivate a deep understanding of philosophical traditions and encourage students to develop their own unique perspectives.
The Philosophy Department also promotes interdisciplinary studies, encouraging students to explore connections between Philosophy and other fields of inquiry such as Literature, Psychology, Science, and Social Sciences. We provide a supportive and intellectually stimulating environment where students can engage in lively debates, analyze complex arguments, and develop their critical and analytical skills. Most of the students have achieved their desired outcomes and students in the 3 year Honours (1+1+1) system have shown their capabilities to the extreme in the university examination and the most extraordinary ones have even achieved a prestigious First Class marks. Students are equally doing their best in the CBCS system. Consistent, hardworking and meritorious students have been accepted into postgraduate programmes at several renowned universities and colleges.
