English Literature and Philosophy

Summary

• Learn to see the world in different ways, as you build a degree from diverse module choices covering literature and philosophy from around the globe
• Hear from visiting authors and scholars at our many literary events on campus, online, and in Lancaster’s historic Castle Quarter
• Broaden your perspective with a decolonised curriculum led by experts in non-Western philosophy and world literature
• Sharpen your thinking in regular small-group seminars, where you’ll debate and critique philosophy and literature under the guidance of our expert tutors
• Develop skills in critical thinking, analysis and persuasion that will prepare you for a range of exciting graduate careers

Investigate the ways in which both literature and philosophy grapple with fundamental human questions – such as right and wrong, freedom and restraint, and what it is to lead a good life. Learn to read literature with attention to philosophical themes and philosophy with attention to literary themes.

An intellectual landscape without boundaries

Through studying both literature and philosophy, you’ll develop a unique toolkit to interpret, analyse, and critique the ideas that shape our world. You might study the idea of liberty in both, say, Utilitarianism and the Harlem Renaissance; or explore the concept of the self in both the work of the British Romantics and in philosophers of the same period.

You’ll have the freedom to build your degree from a large and diverse range of modules. In philosophy we have experts in both Western and non-Western traditions, meaning you’ll be able to explore everything from Kant to feminist philosophy to Islamic ethics and Indian philosophy. Likewise in literature we have experts in both English and world literatures, offering modules in everything from Medieval theatre to contemporary Palestinian fiction.
