What is the nature of reality? Are our minds separate from our bodies? Does virtue require moral knowledge? Studying a philosophy degree course will equip you with the techniques and tools to creatively answer the biggest abstract questions of our time. You'll develop a disciplined approach to thinking, learn how to dissect arguments, and find out how to form your own. You'll also study some of the greatest philosophers throughout history, including Nietzsche, Kierkegaard and Wittgenstein. We teach in small groups, giving you access to individual support to guide your learning.
Focus your studies on philosophy, or combine it with another interest by choosing a joint honours degree.
My research interests include epistemology, philosophy of religion, and the works of Ludwig Wittgenstein and Søren Kierkegaard.
I'm working on ways to understand and improve the ways we measure animal welfare, to help guide policy and encourage better treatment of animals.
My current research concerns the nature and epistemological role of perception – both natural and artificial. I teach subjects including the philosophies of science, mind and psychology, and early modern philosophy.
