REAPP brings together Reading's moral and political philosophers, primarily working in the Departments of Philosophy and Politics and International Relations.

Sharing a commitment to the methods of analytical philosophy, REAPP's members work across a range of issues in moral and political philosophy. However, we have particular overlapping interests in the following themes:

  • fairness
  • politics and violence
  • intergenerational justice
  • ethics and uncertainty.

REAPP acts as a hub for individual scholars to exchange ideas, develop projects, and organise conferences, events, and workshops.

Faculty members and co-directors

We actively encourage postgraduate students to get involved with REAPP. REAPP postgraduates have their own regular reading group, and are able to organise events with REAPP's backing.
