PPE stands for Philosophy, Politics and Economics. Putting it rather grandly PPE as a university degree was born of the conviction that the study of the great modern works of economic, social, political and philosophical thought would have a transformative effect on students’ intellectual lives, and thereby on society at large.

We thought this might be broader and more contemporary than just looking at philosophy. Meetings feature discussion of a topic, agreed by the group, inspired by Radio 4 or maybe a YouTube video. Our last session for instance including researching Ibn Khaldun, Hannah Arendt and David Ricardo plus discussing Reith lectures featuring Bertrand Russell and Rutger Bergman

However grand PPE might sound our group is just a friendly bunch of individuals who enjoy sharing ideas, and bringing open minds to any discussion. As our group name suggests we will probably find ourselves looking at the contributions to philosophy or economics of an eclectic group of individulas, many unfamiliar to us.and nobody should feel inhibited about joining us. Get in touch if you are interested.
