Course summary

The human condition is best explored in literature and poetry. The products of the imagination tell us who we really are. This Joint Honours degree in English and Philosophy will introduce you to the latest thinking and practice in literary and philosophical studies in ways that combine both subjects into a unified course – bringing together the methods and perspectives of both intellectual traditions in a highly integrated manner.The course is both historical and contemporary in its focus and aims to show how philosophy can only be fully understood within a wider literary context, and that literature inescapably touches on issues of the highest moment.The course investigates the nature, significance and contemporary relevance of a range of literary and philosophical texts across time and space, exploring their globality and contemporary positioning in relation to mental health, environmental, and other sustainability agendas. You will engage with both ancient and modern texts in ways that demonstrate that the study of English Literature and Philosophy remains of pre-eminent significance in relation to the world's most pressing challenges.With this focus to the fore, the course will offer a fully interdisciplinary approach to English Literature and Philosophy in order to analyse and explain the complex interrelations that exist between the logical, ethical, social, political, institutional and technological dimensions of texts and meanings, with a specific emphasis upon the way in which literary and philosophical skills are fast becoming key to unlocking the employability potential of undergraduates in the Humanities for future high skilled professional roles.
