Philosophy, Politics and Society Radboud University

Overview

The Philosophy, Politics and Society course from Radboud University is a uniquely issue-oriented philosophy programme. You study the philosophical underpinnings of global issues that will determine the course of the future. The curriculum is organised around themes such as ecological crises, scientific progress, the future of technology, identity politics and the global political landscape.

• For each theme, you examine a combination of key historical philosophical texts, contemporary thinkers and empirical cases.
• PPS explores the defining issues of the 21st century from a wide variety of theoretical perspectives without the narrow economic focus of traditional PPE (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics) programmes.

• PPS works with other faculties including Law, Management, Social Sciences and the Science Faculty.
