What is history? How do we know about the past? What are causes and what is it to explain events or changes or the decisions that altered the course of history? Many historical questions turn on issues that have important philosophical ramifications. If you love to enquire, not just into the past but into the ideas with which we approach the past, then this degree will allow you to do both and to bring the two together.
With a rich choice of modules in both subjects, the degree offers stimulating opportunities for you to develop as a historian and as a philosopher. But you won’t simply study the two subjects side by side. You’ll explore how they interact. In philosophy modules, you will explore how philosophical thought and debate has developed over time, and how contemporary questions have emerged from a history of intellectual exchange. In history modules, you will discover how philosophical ideas about politics, religion, ethics and science have changed the course of history in concrete ways. You will work with lecturers and professors in philosophy and history, whose work is discussed the world over. You’ll be listening to your lecturers developing new ideas, and helping them to identify new ways forward. |
