English and Philosophy

English and Philosophy both explore and explain human existence. The great themes of literature and debates about language run together with the big issues of philosophy:

- what are the struggles, conflicts, and challenges of human life?

- how should we navigate the social, moral, and personal struggles that make up the drama of living?
