BA (Hons) English Literature and Philosophy

The study of philosophy considers these questions in a systematic attempt to make sense of human life and the world in which we live. And literature is another, equally important way that we try to make sense of human life and the questions it raises.

In this course, youll discover how these two disciplines spark off each other to deepen your understanding of both. Youll discover how philosophers and writers explore existential aspects of the human condition in diverse ways. Youll examine the literary artistry of thinkers such as Plato and Nietzsche, who invite us into philosophy in exciting and unexpected ways. And youll discuss how novels, poems and dramatic works uncover special kinds of truth about the world.
