14. Do you have an inquiring mind? Do you enjoy abstract academic debate? Then the Philosophy Society is perfect for you! We meet every Monday period 4 in E11, and discuss the problems of Philosophy, political theory and economics. The group is particularly helpful for those considering Oxbridge applications for Law, Philosophy and PPE as we regularly discuss Oxbridge interview style questions. There is no need to be taking an AS or A2 in Philosophy as the majority of the debate does not centre around the specification. If you are interested we look forward to seeing you there! Join the Brock Philosophy Society!
