Super-curriculars for Oxford Physics and Philosophy
I'm passionate for both Physics and Philosophy, so I potentially hope to apply for these two subjects at university, including at Oxford. However, I study Physics, Maths and Biology; subjects largely unrelated to Philosophy. I'm hoping to find some books/competitions/activities to read up on so as to further my understanding of Philosophy and to put on my personal statement. Any recommendations?

As a starting point if you're completely new to philosophy, try "Philosophy: A Very Short Introduction (2nd edn)"
