English Literature and Philosophy & Ethics

About this course

English literature and philosophy are disciplines that have always been in conversation. Literature asks what it means to be human and explores those questions through story, character, and language. Philosophy asks them more directly, through argument, reflection, and the careful examination of beliefs and values. Studying them together, with an ethical thread running through both, gives you an unusually rich set of tools for engaging with ideas, texts, and the moral questions that shape how we live. At Liverpool Hope University, you will read widely across literary traditions and periods, developing the close reading skills and critical awareness that are central to the discipline. Alongside this, you will engage with philosophical questions about ethics, knowledge, identity, and the nature of reality, learning to construct and evaluate arguments with care and rigour.
