Centre for Ethics, Philosophy and Public Affairs >

The present Centre is continuous with that founded by the University in 1984 under the title of the Centre for Philosophy and Public Affairs (the change of title came in 2001). The original decision to create such a centre represented an aspect of the long-standing commitment of the University of St Andrews to teaching and research in moral philosophy - the subject having been taught in the University since its foundation in 1413. The Centre maintains a programme of research projects, seminars, academic visits, fellowships, conferences, and occasional publishing, and also provides a forum for public discussion both within and outwith the University. Its field of interest comprises ethics, social and political philosophy as well as the ethical and philosophical dimensions of public affairs.
