The first year provides a foundation for your studies in Years 2 and 3. Lectures will introduce you to political philosophy questions about the state, liberty and justice, moral philosophy about the definition of right action, moral motivation, the metaphysics of moral judgements, epistemology about knowledge and belief, metaphysics about the nature of things, reality, personal identity, free will, and introductory logic, which models principles of sound reasoning. All of these are compulsory for single-subject students.
In your second and third years, you choose from a wide range of modules. All modules in these years are optional. The only constraint on choice is a liberal ‘breadth’ requirement in the second year, to ensure that you take modules across a range of philosophical areas before specialisation. These may include metaphysics, epistemology, the philosophies of mind and language, moral and political philosophy, aesthetics, and central historical figures, for example, Aristotle, Kant, and Nietzsche.
The course is designed to ensure coverage of the central areas of philosophy, while also allowing you to choose from an array of optional modules, some of which may be taken from other UCL departments, subject to availability.
