Expansion of Postgraduate Philosophy

Share |

Posted on 22 October 2012

This year Keele philosophy is welcoming three new PhD students, two new M.Phil. students and two new M.Res. students: its largest postgraduate intake by far since it joined SPIRE a decade ago. The PhD students are: Jonathan Head, who was awarded Keele's new Graduate StudentTeaching Scholarship from the Adrian Piper Research Archive Foundation in Berlin, and whose topic is "Kant's Critical Philosophy of Hope and Salvation"; Lavinia Udrea, who will be working on moral philosophy and environmental sustainability; and

Philippe Blenkiron, who will work on aesthetics and political philosophy. The M.Phil. students will be working on Heidegger's interpretation of Nietzsche (Matthew Sharp) and the normative relevance of phenomenological philosophy (Robert Eggett). The M.Res. students will take an advanced course in metaphilosophy (the study of the nature of philosophy).
