Description:

The group will convene weekly to read the book 'Disjunctivism' (2016) by Matthew Soteriou. Assessing key questions in the Philosophy of Perception, the book provides a defence of the disjunctivist theory of perception and a discussion of its opposing view, including representationalism and sense-datum theories.

• Information about the sorts of work philosophy students go on to.
• Considering how what you are currently doing can contribute to finding work you might enjoy.
• Suggestions of ways to develop your skills, to help your journey into work  

• Advantages and disadvantages of further study
• Assistance available from Student Careers and Skills   

By the end of the workshop you will have:

• learnt about some popular past options for philosophy students and thought about how these might relate to you, and how to find out more about them.
• Thought about how the skills you are developing will relate to the world of work, and strategies to adopt if there are skills you want to develop.
• Thought about how further study can help, and how it can't.
• Found out more about assistance available from Student Careers and Skills.
