Political philosophy is that area of philosophy dealing with politics and government, that unstable mix of war and foedus, conflictual division and authoritative union. As 'philosophy' it is part of the vita contemplativa, which is pure thinking; as 'political' it has always something to do with vita activa, that is action and praxis in a world that exists with its own rules and language games before any philosophical attempt to make that world the embodiment of a theory as Plato did (Arendt, 1953, 1959). Philosophy, like science, is about truth whereas politics is about power or, more accu¬rately, 'the constrained use of social power' (Goodin and Klingemann, 1996). This formulation reintroduces truth into the possible constraints alongside rhetoric, persuasion, compromise and negotiation.

2022 will see the launch of the long awaited Covid inquiry. One key set of issues will involve the role of scientific advice: how it is gathered, and co-ordinated; how it is fed in to ministers; how uncertain or conflicting advice is handled; how transparent and accountable the whole process is; and how to improve the handling of scientific advice in future.

Brexit has shaken British politics and raised important questions about how our democracy functions.
Philip Rycroft, who was the lead civil servant on constitutional issues within the UK Government from 2012 to 2019, will examine how much Brexit has stressed the democratic process. He will look at trust in the institutions of the state and the state of democratic representation across the UK. He will ask what this means for the future of our democratic institutions and for the future of the United Kingdom itself.
