This week, Statecraft is joined by the indefatigable Dan Quill to talk about that mysterious second 'P'... philosophy! As animated as always, Dan explains just how philosophy fits into a PPE degree, before walking us through some of the major strands of the discipline. Discussion revolves about the role of philosophy, not just a standalone subject, but rather a set of crucial tools with which one can better understand the workings of power and the economy. Discussion also revolves around which courses are worth the HECS debt. Not an episode to be missed, Dan helps us realise just how important and rich a basis in philosophy can be.

Next time, join us as we continue our focus on the big ideas of PPE with Sam, who adroitly explains how PPE is better than BAFE at everything. See you then!
