We are India’s first student-run Academic Society for the interdisciplinary study of Philosophy, Politics and Economics. Nascent in its inception, the Ashoka PPE Society aims to bring academic rigour and weight to the study of PPE and facilitate discourse, connecting contemporary events to the theoretical framework established by the discipline.
Our Logo
The logo of the Ashoka PPE Society represents the close interconnections between the Philosophy, Political Science and Economics. The bottom part of the logo represents a polity. It stands to illustrate the institutions and entities that the world constitutes, something that political science deals closely with. Further, the red graph line with an upward trend portrays the potential that the PPE as a discipline holds, tying it with the idea of growth. Although economics spans across a lot of areas, it also represents a constant struggle towards growth. Lastly, a neutral representation of the Myth of Sisyphus embodies the spirit of constant hustle and endurance that we as a society emulate in our quest to bring more academic weight to the study of PPE in India and abroad.
