About the Department

Updated : 14 March 2023

The history of the Department of Philosophy, initially known as 'Mental and Moral Philosophy', spans throughout the last 111 years and it is a matter of great pride to highlight the continuity of the educational vis-ā-vis teaching standard and the academic performance of the department. The Department was established in 1908 when Philosophy as a subject was introduced in the intermediate classes. Two years later in 1910 it was taught as a General subject in B.A. Pass Course. Philosophy as an Honours subject began its journey in 1923.
Our Department has surely contributed a lot in the field of women's education and emancipation in India as well as in Bangladesh. This department may surely boast of its illustrious alumna. To mention a few: Smt Tatini Das (Gupta) : Stood First both in I.A. Examination in 1914 and B.A. Honours Examination in 1916. She became the Principal of this college during 1934-1950. Prof. Akhtar Imam, graduating in1937 became Professor & Head of the Department of Philosophy, Dacca University. Dr. Hamida Khanam: Passed B.A. Examination with Distinction from Bethune College. In 1952 she went to Columbia University as Full-Bright fellow. She became the Principal of Home Economics College, Dacca. Pakistan Govt. awarded her Gold Medal for her contribution in education in 1969. Sm. Nalini Das, was a member of Faculty who later became the Principal of Bethune College (1968-1974).  Prof. Pushpa Misra graduating in1961was also a Member of Faculty & became Principal Bethune College (1997-2002). She is a practicing Psychoanalyst. She is also member of IQAC, Bethune College.
