糖心TV

Taught by members of staff from the Philosophy Department, the Philosophy Taster Course takes place on Thursday 25 and Friday 25 October 2018 at the 糖心TV in London Headquarters.

The programme offers an opportunity to experience what it is like to study Philosophy at University-level. It will analyse and reflect on fundamental questions arising from philosophical issues and texts, and will provide hands-on instruction by members of the Department to encourage and advance the critical and analytical skills of the participants.

The course is aimed at individuals who are 16 years old and over, who are undertaking or have previously completed A Levels or equivalent (Key Stage 5). There are no subject specific criteria, but curiosity about Philosophy and a desire to learn and contribute to study and discussion in this area is essential. The course may also be of interest to students considering studying Philosophy as a Single Honours or Joint Honours degree. Please see link here to the website for further information.

We are a group dedicated to collectively reading the core works of the German philosopher G.W.F. Hegel (1770 – 1831). Our goal is to facilitate a better understanding of the often difficult contents of Hegel鈥檚 texts and to provide a forum for meaningful engagement between his thought and contemporary questions. Although we are primarily made up of postgraduate students working on Hegel, we happily welcome non-philosophers and beginners in Hegel鈥檚 philosophy to join us at any point. Term 1 and 2.

This term we will be working on the second part of Hegel's Science of Logic, the Doctrine of Essence. Please bring a copy of the book for the session. We will mainly use the Di Giovanni translation, but there are usually no problems if people bring other translations (Miller, etc.).
