History and World Philosophies

Our unique World Philosophies degree offers you the chance to engage with a diverse range of philosophical traditions from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. This course will expand your knowledge and develop your critical understanding of philosophy in the context of a wider range of societies and historical eras than a traditional philosophy degree. You will investigate the origin, nature, methods, and limits of human knowledge; traditions of argumentation; as well as political and ethical systems of thought from a truly global perspective.

This combined course will complement your study of world philosophies, as you will develop an in depth understanding of how historical contexts have influenced philosophical thought in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
