Philosophy Reading List

If you are interested in Philosophy, there are several options available at Oxford and Cambridge. 

Philosophy as a sole specialism can only be taken at Cambridge, but at Oxford, you can take Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE), or combine Philosophy with Mathematics, Physics, Theology, Modern Languages or Computer Science. To prepare for an application for any of these courses, Philosophy applicants must develop their ability to read volumes of texts with an analytical and logical mind. Our reading lists guide you to read some of Philosophy's cornerstone texts, as well as readings which will help you analyse problems posed by philosophical thought.
