Course Summary

One of the world’s oldest academic subjects, philosophy asks vital questions about the world and how we understand it. Is there such a thing as evil? Are we ever truly free to act? How do we know what we know – if we can ever know anything at all? This fascinating and challenging degree will enable you to think clearly, construct well-planned arguments and learn to defend them, plus give you the chance to explore ideas and approaches across the full range of topics in Philosophy. Core modules will introduce you to key concepts and issues such as morality, knowledge, the self, logic, philosophy of the mind, the nature of reality and political philosophy. A wide range of optional modules allow you to build on this foundation to explore areas as diverse as philosophy of religion, ethics, the history and philosophy of science, aesthetics or feminist philosophy. It’s a great opportunity to gain valuable skills and question what you know and how you think.
