BA (Hons) Philosophy, Ethics & Religion

... United Kingdom
... Liverpool Hope University

Course Overview

If you want to understand the world we live in, you have to be able to understand the great religious traditions and philosophical questions that shape it. Our degree in Philosophy, Ethics and Religion is a rigorous programme that exposes you to the big questions of philosophy: what is good? What are the ideals or principles by which we can lead a meaningful life, individually and politically? What defines a human person? What can we rationally say about the existence and nature of God? What is beauty? At the same time, it offers an in-depth understanding of major religions, such as Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism.

In philosophy, you will be reading the great texts of Western thought for yourself and significant readers from broader global philosophies, such as African, Indian, and Japanese. There will also be an emphasis on developing your ability to think critically and construct reasoned arguments. The study of religion is grounded in understanding beliefs as they are lived and understood: field trips and research in natural communities sit alongside interpreting texts, symbols and ideas.

Your studies will be led by internationally renowned lecturers who bring their research to bear on their teaching. Our staff have particular expertise in, for example, the study of Islam, Zen Buddhism, and contemporary philosophy of religion. They will guide and inspire you to clarify the questions you want to ask and to explore the worldviews of others as you work out your own.
