Philosophy Final Year Topic: Rights and Duties in Access to Publicly Funded Knowledge

This Philosophy final year project examines how public funding affects duties to make research accessible. It builds a critical philosophical argument through philosophical arguments about public goods, intellectual property and research justice.

Why choose this project topic?

The problem of how public funding affects duties to make research accessible offers a clear debate with competing reasons and possible objections. A limited set of primary readings and carefully explained cases helps you develop an independent argument rather than simply summarising philosophers.

Which conclusions about how public funding affects duties to make research accessible are justified by critical examination of philosophical arguments about public goods, intellectual property and research justice?

Choose the main philosophical interlocutors and a small set of cases, then narrow the argument about how public funding affects duties to make research accessible.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Clarify the key concepts involved in how public funding affects duties to make research accessible.
  2. 02Reconstruct the competing arguments in philosophical arguments about public goods, intellectual property and research justice.
  3. 03Compare author recognition, publication costs and public benefit through bounded dissemination cases.

A suggested research approach

Select accessible editions of philosophical arguments about public goods, intellectual property and research justice and define the central terms before defending a position. Compare author recognition, publication costs and public benefit through bounded dissemination cases. Make premises explicit, address a strong objection to the preferred account, and distinguish hypothetical illustrations from factual evidence.

What you will need

  • Lawful access to philosophical arguments about public goods, intellectual property and research justice
  • An argument map addressing how public funding affects duties to make research accessible
  • A supervisor-agreed philosophical framework and complete citation records
