This degree provides a rich and advanced engagement with philosophy which exposes students to a wide variety of global, rather than narrowly Western, intellectual traditions and themes than would be possible in other philosophy postgraduate degree programmes.
The MA Global Philosophy has a strongly applied element, designed to demonstrate the significance of philosophy for pressing contemporary concerns (such as the climate crisis, animal/human relations; gender debates; race relations; intercultural understanding; racial capitalism; public rationality and democracy).
The department has a very successful undergraduate degree in World Philosophies and the MA Global Philosophy is a natural development from the distinctive approach of Philosophy at SOAS which involves significantly expanding provision to engage with philosophical ideas and traditions from Asia, Africa and the Middle East whilst also providing training in Anglo-European philosophy. The degree will thus enable students to encounter contemporary European philosophy alongside other traditions in a global perspective without privileging that tradition above others.
