📖 项目简介
The MSc in Philosophy of Economics and the Social Sciences offers a unique opportunity to pursue a critical understanding of the methods of economics and other social sciences, alongside ethical questions about the use of science in policy, the economy, and civil society.
LSE is widely recognised as the world’s leading social science university, and our department excels at philosophical research that is continuous with the social and natural sciences and is socially relevant. Teachers on the programme conduct pathbreaking research at the intersection of philosophy and a range of social sciences, including behavioural science, cognitive science, economics, health policy, data science, and politics. Courses that you can take as part of the degree address a wide range of questions in the field, including:
What forms of explanation and understanding are possible in the social sciences, and how secure and objective is the knowledge they provide?
What are the strengths and weaknesses of common methods in economics and parts of political science, eg, modelling individuals as perfectly rational individuals who maximize the expected satisfaction of their preferences?How do they compare with other social sciences methods, such as those that focus on understanding people’s outlook, cultural identity, and the norms they wish to follow?
What is the nature of social categories such as gender and race, and what roles do these categories play in shaping the social world and structuring human lives? Should we rethink these categories?
How should we morally evaluate societies, both in terms of the distribution of opportunities and well-being they provide and in terms of the nature of the interpersonal relationships they engender?
What are the merits and drawbacks of key forms of social organization, including markets, democratic deliberation, and top down hierarchies? How are these forms of social organization, and their impacts, changing due to new technologies, including Artificial Intelligence?
What should the role of social sciences and the expertise they provide be in public debate and policy-making? How should scientific uncertainty and disagreement be handled in the public forum?

Why study philosophy?
Philosophy is more than an academic discipline – studying Philosophy is an excellent opportunity to think deeply whilst developing important transferable skills.
In our department, you’ll be able to learn essentials principles of philosophy and deal with contemporary questions: What is justice? Are animals sentient? What is fairness? During your studies, you’ll learn and hone debate and critical-thinking skills which you can then apply to a magnitude of areas.
Skills you'll learn
Critical thinking: learn to assess complex problems and approach them from multiple perspectives.
Foundations of scientific research: develop the ability to articulate hypotheses and test them through rigorous research, logical analysis, and informed debate.
Debating and communication: express your ideas clearly and persuasively to a wide range of audiences — both in speech and writing.
Open-mindedness: engage with diverse viewpoints, challenge your assumptions, and grow through the gain of knowledge and dialogue with your peers.
Analytical reasoning: break down arguments, research supporting evidence, and evaluate information in a professional and structured approach.
