Master of Arts in Philosophy and Linguistics
Program Overview
Philosophy
Philosophy has been at the core of Western intellectual life for at least 2,500 years. It is central to our understanding of the world, our place in it and our interaction with it.
Philosophy provides the tools by which the presuppositions of all areas of intellectual and practical activity may be systematically and critically examined.
While there are different approaches that philosophers have taken, the study of philosophy emphasises the use of:
- Argument
- Critical enquiry
- Rigour in reasoning
- Clarity of expression, including the making of pertinent distinctions
Philosophy at Edinburgh
The University has a strong historic connection to the subject, counting Adam Ferguson and Sir William Hamilton among its former students.
Edinburgh has one of the UK’s largest philosophy departments and the Philosophy Society attracts high-profile speakers.
Linguistics
Linguistics examines how language works. It describes how sounds, words, sentences and conversations combine to express and create meaning.
It also studies:
- The uses of language in everyday life
- The ways in which language varies across society and evolves over time
- How language is mastered by children
