Philosophy with Classical Civilisation

Program Description

The historical roots of Western Philosophy are in ancient Greece, and its direction was fixed for centuries by the ways it was assimilated, modified and used in Latin culture. This degree is designed for students who wish to explore facets of the ancient civilisations that lie beyond the scope of purely philosophical studies.

Students will find that a study of the world in which Philosophy developed sheds valuable light on the character of Philosophy itself. They may focus their work in Classics either on language and literature or on cultural and historical topics, or they may choose a more varied assortment of subjects to suit their own interests.

The degree is a variant of the single honours degree in Philosophy, and the cores of the two degrees are very similar. The proportion of the degree that is devoted to Classics will vary with students’ choices of options, but will occupy at least a quarter of their course and at most a half.
