PHIL6068 2025-26
Classical Indian Philosophy: Self, Knowledge, and Liberation
Philosophy flourished in classical India for well over a millennium, with figures in this tradition producing works that are on a par with those of figures in ancient Greece and late antique and medieval Europe. In fact, figures in classical India contributed extensively to what what we now recognise as core areas of philosophy such as epistemology, logic, philosophy of mind, metaphysics, and ethics. This module provides an overview of this long-neglected tradition of philosophy. Texts covered may include the early texts of the Brahmanical and Śramaṇa traditions (e.g. the Upaniṣads, and Pali Canon of Buddhism), and writings in the age of sutras and commentaries (e.g. those of Brahmanical schools such as Nyāya, Pūrva-Mīmāṃsā, Sāṃkhya, and Yoga, and Śramaṇa schools such as Buddhism and Jainism). The module’s approach will not be purely historical, but will critically examine the contributions these texts make to philosophical debates that remain live today. -

PHYS2006 2026-27
Classical Mechanics
Beginning with a review of Newton's Laws applied to systems of particles, the course moves on to rotational motion, dynamical gravity (Kepler's Laws) and motion in non-inertial reference frames. Systems of coupled oscillators are studied. -

Cleopatra’s Egypt
‘It is well done, and fitting for a princess descended of so many royal kings'. Shakespeare's words on the suicide of Cleopatra VII echo rare ancient Roman admiration for the last queen of Egypt. Defeated by Rome, Cleopatra's choice of death might show a glimpse of her noble origins. But what of her life and the world that made her? Roman propaganda made a monster of Cleopatra: power-mad; sexually depraved; fanatical, animal-worshipping Egyptian; a stain on the glorious reputation of Alexander the Great who brought her ancestors to Egypt. That legacy proved powerful and enduring. Can we get behind the propaganda to the real Cleopatra and her context? We explore the world of Cleopatra's Egypt; its multicultural society and relationship with Roman power; and the fragmentary remains of Cleopatra's life and rule. And we reflect, finally, on Cleopatra's post-mortem power on the western imagination, from Shakespeare to Hollywood and beyond. -
