An unusual collection of political scientists interested in philosophy and philosophers interested in political science have combined to produce this interdisciplinary degree programme. This programme is ideally suited to those wishing to specialise in the philosophical aspects of politics - and the political approach to philosophy. Through this degree you have the opportunity to address issues such as: the philosophical underpinnings of democracy; the clash between different world views; and the philosophical basis of utopian political systems. This will include a mixture of historical reflection - exploring questions that earlier philosophers have raised and testing the value of their answers - and cutting-edge work on questions that seem new and theories that seem fashionable.
