Philosophy as a discipline deals with the intellectual growth of human society as an essential process working behind the development of human understanding and its problems-metaphysical, metaphoric, Religio-political as well as cultural. This nature of the discipline integrates philosophy with the other disciplines trying to resolve the problems of society and expands the scope of philosophy in all walks of life. The major question for world of knowledge today is how to create a balance between the traditional and new challenges emerging out of fast growing world of scientific, technological, and globalized approaches to knowledge. The question has made philosophy important for all methodologies, approaches and mechanisms developed for the growth of human knowledge.

The history of mankind reveals that there was an immense growth of philosophical thoughts actually working behind the rise and fall of every human civilization on the mother earth. Department of philosophy & Interdisciplinary studies in Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan has been established to realize this importance of the discipline. The department has a commitment to develop and promote a culture of philosophical insights and resolve the socio-political problems not only of the region, but also at the global level. The department has developed an innovative scheme of studies encompassing multiple aspects of intellectual and Interdisciplinary concerns and is trying to connect this scheme of studies with the current problems of society. The department has developed an understanding of regional thought patterns as well as the placement of these thoughts in the history of world philosophy.
