Building on the philosophy postgraduate foundation course, this course explores issues with a significance that extends far beyond the boundaries of academic philosophy; students look at distributive justice, liberalism versus communitarianism and the metaphysics of social explanation and go on to examine citizenship, nationalism, punishment and democracy in the light of these themes; students develop ability to analyse philosophical texts; reflect on the process of philosophical research; and hone their skills in finding and using material; students are also required to show greater independence of thought and the ability to put across a coherent case for a philosophical position.
