Philosophy with Sociology

About this course

Philosophy and sociology approach questions about human social life from different but complementary angles. Philosophy asks foundational questions: what do we know and how do we know it, what makes actions right or wrong, what is justice, and what is the nature of the mind and of society? Sociology examines empirically how societies actually work: how they generate inequality, how norms and institutions shape behaviour, and how social change happens. Together, they provide both the conceptual rigour to ask precise questions and the empirical frameworks to investigate how those questions play out in real social life. At York you will study philosophical ethics, epistemology, political philosophy, and the philosophy of mind alongside sociological theory, research methods, and the study of inequality, culture, and social institutions. Philosophy develops your capacity for careful argument
