LIBA2001 2026-27
Self, society, nature, and normativity
Contemporary thought typically depicts human beings as profoundly shaped by their social, cultural, historical and linguistic contexts. In doing so, it rejects earlier visions of us as capable of a disengagement from such ‘embedding’—the ‘social contract’ picture of autonomous individuals opting into, or rejecting, social collaboration being a classic example. But the ‘embedded’ vision poses problems of its own: it may seem to lead to a relativism that is repugnant—perhaps even incoherent—and to render us what Harold Garfinkel called ‘cultural dopes’. This module will explore these tensions and the various ways in which they manifest themselves: for example, as tensions between self and society, nature and nurture, and our behaviour and the norms—moral, political, aesthetic, epistemic, etc.—that we demand they meet. The module will explore various forms that these tensions take across the humanities and social sciences, and the prospects for their resolution. -

Self-initiated Project
This module will allow you to develop key thinking and practical skills to construct and resolve your own self-initiated project brief related to one community of learning as either a specialist or interdisciplinary graphic communication practitioner. Within your brief, you will be able to define the creative boundaries and methods of concluding a creative challenge. Staff will be able to support you in advancing your brief writing knowledge by offering you a framework for brief construction. This module will allow you increasing independence to start to define your own direction as a developing practitioner. This module will provide you with some of the underlying skills and processes required to complete the self-directed module in your final year. -

Self-Knowledge
We seem to know our own minds - our beliefs, desires, intentions, thoughts, feelings and sensations - in a distinctively secure and immediate way, without having to rely on observation of our own behaviour. Such self-knowledge seems different from knowledge of other people or of the world around us, and is arguably part of what is special about persons. Though self-knowledge is familiar and effortless, it is puzzling. This course will examine a range of philosophical problems associated with self-knowledge, such as: How do we come to know our own minds? What (if any) are the differences between self-knowledge and knowledge in other domains (e.g. knowledge of other people's minds)? What explains these differences? Can the answers to these questions be reconciled with plausible accounts of the objects of self-knowledge, i.e. mental states and their contents? Do recent findings in empirical psychology show that we are more ignorant about our own minds than we suppose? How is self-deception possible? -
