Philosophy at Exeter
Philosophy asks the questions most essential to human life. Studying Philosophy will teach you to think rigorously, to defend your views in a clear and consistent way, to understand the why and what-for of different points of view, and ultimately to develop a sharp, analytical and open mind.
Based in the Department of Sociology, Philosophy and Anthropology, our unique environment encourages a productive fusion of the three subjects.
