PHILOSOPHY AND POLITICS B.A (Hons)
Philosophy and politics share a range of contemporary concerns, including environmental matters, genetic engineering, and relationships with the Third World. Philosophy also introduces you to more general problems about knowledge, the nature of the world and the mind, and to questions about beauty, consciousness and religion. You will study these from both historical and contemporary perspectives, critically considering the work of philosophers from around the world as well as developing your own views.
The clarity and precision provided by a training in philosophical analysis complements the wide-ranging scope of political concerns. Many of which have profound ethical implications of the kind dealt with in moral philosophy. You will be encouraged to formulate and defend your own ideas, as well as understand why others disagree, and present your position in a variety of ways. Assessments involve presentations, essays, exams, posters and portfolios.
