About this course

Clarity helps us to understand our users’ behaviour by visually representing their clicks, taps and scrolling. All data is anonymised. Philosophy is the systematic attempt to arrive at clear answers to profound questions about issues such as knowledge, life, morality, science and human nature using reason and argument.

We host reading parties for students, usually in the Highlands, and have a flourishing undergraduate Philosophy Society. You will study two courses, which will introduce you to a range of philosophical tools and ideas by thinking through a series of philosophical questions.
