Philosophy - Research

We work on a range of topics across the systematic areas of Philosophy and historically ranging from the Early Moderns to the present day. We have particular expertise in the work of such figures as Kant, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Gadamer, Marion, and Arendt. Within public and applied philosophy, we cover such areas as research ethics, health care ethics, ethics in information technologies, questions of social engagement and art, justice and disability and ethical issues to do with big data, AI and robotics.
