We are now accepting applicants for its new MA Philosophy programme, which comprises three pathways/streams:
European Philosophy: includes focus on German Idealism, the Frankfurt School, and French philosophical movements from Bergson and existentialism to poststructuralism and psychoanalysis. Available options include Continental aesthetics and political philosophy.
Modern Philosophy: enables students to investigate both Continental and Analytic traditions of contemporary philosophy, with a focus on recent work that crosses the divide between them.
Political Philosophy: Advanced training in key thinkers and issues from both Anglo-American and Continental political thought. Research interests among the teaching staff include applied analytical political theory (with issues such as immigration, citizenship and the politics of recognition), post-Nietzschean theories of identity and post-identity politics, democratic theory and pragmatist philosophy.
Applicants will normally have the equivalent of a UK upper second class honours degree in a relevant subject, but students with a lower second class result will also be considered.
The programme has now been fully validated for the 2016/17 academic year.
Further details can be found on our website here or by contacting Prof. Nathan Widder (n.e.widder@rhul.ac.uk).
