We explore major issues in law and politics through the lens of philosophy. Our research ranges from more abstract questions, such as those concerning the foundations of freedom and equality, to more applied ones, concerning, for example, the impact of AI or the abuse of human rights. The Centre brings together faculty members, visitors, as well as postgraduate and undergraduate students, from various departments in the College. It is also actively involved in a number of collaborations with other institutions around the world.
We have a reputation as one of the world’s leading centres for the study of legal and political philosophy. Our students can experience not only the latest ideas from King’s researchers, but also the wide range of perspectives from our visiting speakers.
The Centre also supports the LLB in Politics, Philosophy & Law. Unique to the UK, this four-year qualifying law degree gives students the freedom to shape their curriculum by selecting from a wide range of modules in philosophy and political economy alongside their legal studies.
