World, Meaning and Human Action research theme

The World, Meaning and Human Action research theme approaches various intersecting topics through research methods informed by the breadth of the history of philosophy, in particular European philosophy.

Our research approach investigates and employs the interaction between philosophical thought and cultural, political and critical practices, with a particular emphasis on the collective project of human flourishing.

The World, Meaning, and Human Action research theme was formerly called the Natural World and Technology theme.
