MA Philosophy, Politics and Economics: Politics and Philosophy Bipartite
How should the social and political institutions which affect our everyday lives be arranged? How far are moral criteria taken into account in our policy options and how afar should they be? How should we act as individuals, citizens and politicians?
This pathway will enable you to access the theoretical perspectives, methodologies and policy analysis needed to debate key topics in PPE and the practical applications of them in social, economic, political and legal spheres. Through politics modules you'll be able to cover the interpretation and explanation of social, economic and political phenomena as well as inquiry into how they should be organised. You will enjoy a diversity of module choices from our department of philosophy's strengths in moral, political, continental philosophy, aesthetics and Philosophy of Mind.
