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.
