About us
The Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method was founded by Karl Popper in 1946 and is renowned for a type of philosophy that is both continuous with the sciences and socially relevant. The Department embodies LSE’s long tradition of analytic, interdisciplinary, and socially engaged philosophy. This tradition, and the fact that to become part of it, all you need is a critical, independent mind-set and a desire to do empirically informed philosophy, is exemplified by some of the world’s leading thinkers and social reformers from diverse backgrounds who have worked or studied at LSE.

Assisted dying: what should we think? Join the #LSEPhilosophy public lecture - free and open to all! 📅 Thursday 13 March 2025 ⏲️ 6:30pm-8:00pm 📍 Sheikh Zayed Theatre, LSE Campus - and online Speakers: Kenneth Chambaere (Ghent University), Emily Jackson (LSE Law School), Hugh MacKenzie (Westminster Cathedral), and Alex Voorhoeve (LSE Philosophy); Chair: Lewis Ross (LSE Philosophy) A new bill proposes to legalise assisted dying for terminally ill patients in England and Wales. Many difficult philosophical, moral, legal and social questions are raised by end-of-life legislation. Do people have a right to die? Is suicide ethically permissible? Can we create laws that protect the vulnerable from being pressured into ending their lives? Should psychological as well as physical illnesses be covered by right-to-die laws? How do such laws work in other countries? Join us to ask influential legal, philosophical and religious commentators what they think. https://lnkd.in/erUGtWm8

New #LSEPhilosophy blog article 🩺 Ensuring Universal Health Coverage (UHC)—that everyone around the world has access to an adequate package of needed health services of sufficient quality at bearable cost—is one of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and is an aim of health policy in many countries. But UHC is costly, and consequently, countries face difficult decisions on how to fund it. How can such decisions be made in an equitable manner? In our latest blog post, Alex Voorhoeve answers this question. https://lnkd.in/eja7j-dR #LSE #Philosophy #PartOfLSE #Healthcare #Ethics
