At Queen's University, students pursuing English and Philosophy examine literature in English across its full historical spectrum. The curriculum spans from ancient Anglo-Saxon texts to modern works from Ireland, Britain, and worldwide, analyzing them through historical, linguistic, cultural, material, and ideological lenses. Philosophy studies introduce foundational thinkers from Plato and Aristotle to Descartes and Marx, while developing analytical abilities through formal logic and critical reasoning courses.
