Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Dance and Philosophy and Ethics (W5V5)

Students can study Dance in the heart of the city of Liverpool. Dance can be described as a fluid art form. It is constantly changing, exposed to different cultural contexts, bodily histories and physical disciplines, as well as being influenced by political and social movements. This degree aims to explore dance as a living practice and dynamic art form. Students will consider how dance throughout eastern and western cultures has been cultivated through traditional training practices as well as more contemporary cultural influences.

Philosophy and Ethics explores the big questions of life and morality. It challenges students to examine their assumptions, opinions and worldview.

Through close attention to the primary texts of philosophers such as Plato, Aquinas, Descartes, Hume, Kant and Nietzsche, Liverpool Hope University's Philosophy and Ethics degree will help students learn to analyze and evaluate arguments, and to compose and communicate their own ideas in a reasoned way. They will have a grounding in the foundational questions of philosophy. As students progress, they will look in depth at philosophy of religion, political philosophy, applied ethics and issues of human personhood, artificial intelligence and animality.

The degree is taught by a core team of critical academics who are passionate about teaching and are internationally recognized researchers and writers. This degree will equip students with the intellectual skills and perspectives needed to face the ethical and ideological challenges of the contemporary world.
