Key University Archive Resources in Philosophy

Primary source material is a valuable resource for all kinds of subjects across the University, including philosophy. Archive staff work with Philosophy tutors to explore themes such as the sense of self, communication and the impact of the digital world. Archives and philosophy have a strong connection as evidenced in the work of philosophers such as Foucault and Derrida.
