	Philosophy, Politics, and Economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		PPE was established in Oxford in 1920 as a modern alternative to Classics (known as Greats) because it was thought that a course in Philosophy and Ancient History was no longer relevant for those entering the civil service.
		In this regard, the study of philosophy is considered important because it both equips students with meta-tools such as the ability to reason rigorously and logically, and facilitates ethical reflection.
		Additionally, the analytical framework of economics (the rational actor model) is an important approach to studying social phenomena and, as such, students ought to be familiar with it.

	Workshop in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics
		The Workshop in Philosophy, Politics and Economics was established to encourage and explore the latest research at the intersection of these three disciplines by scholars from across the social sciences and humanities.
		My reasoning behind this is simple -- economics is most powerful when it retains its "worldly philosophy" character and at its worst when it falls into the trap of believing itself to be a branch of "social engineering".
		Creative research in political economy emerges from the tension that is generated by conceiving of economics as philosophy and conceiving of it as science --- political economy, in other words, is a philosophical science.
