Carolyn Price

Carolyn Price is a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the Open University. She’s been a course author on A333 Key Questions in Philosophy, contributing to units about rationality (what is it?) and knowledge (how do we get it?). She’s also recently contributed some materials on the philosophy of emotion to the Philosophy MA. These teaching materials directly draw on Carolyn’s research, which focuses on questions about emotion and rationality.  Currently, Carolyn is Deputy Chair of A111 Discovering the Arts and Humanities, which will be presented from the first time in October this year, and which is designed to introduce students to a broad range of Arts and Humanities disciplines, including Philosophy. For A111, she’s written two units: one is on Plato’s theory of courage and the other is on the philosophy of compassion, which is paired with a unit about Buddhism.  Carolyn has enjoyed writing about Buddhist philosophy for the first time alongside Suzanne Newcombe, Lecturer in Religious Studies.
