• Answer:

  I am studying PPS at uni at the moment, which is Politics, Psychology, Sociology, and Social Anthropology. Personally I have found anthropology quite boring, but for a philosopher it could be a great subject. You take questions and assumptions about human beings, and then try to answer them or find exceptions to them by looking at different societies. Examples of essays I've done this year include "What is a gift?", "Is gender a social or biological construct?", "What is the benefit of seeing culture as a text to be interpreted?". You come to realise there are so many basic assumptions our society makes that another society lives completely against, and you also see patterns over all human societies that you never saw before. Many philosophers and sociologists have come into the theoretical side of my studies too.
