Studying Philosophy and Ethics you will have the opportunity to explore some of the big questions which fascinate us all. Within Philosophy of Religion, you will begin by considering “How do we know what we know?” and gain an understanding of Rationalism and Empiricism before considering issues regarding the existence of God, religion and science and the problem of evil. At A2, you will think about the meaningfulness of religious language and consider whether there is a soul. Within Ethics, you will examine different ethical perspectives such as Kantian ethics and Utilitarianism whilst exploring whether one should act out of a sense of duty or to achieve a certain goal. You will then examine how these theories can be applied to real life topics, such as Abortion. At A2, you will consider debates that are the background to all ethical discussions such as “Are we really free?” and “What is a conscience?” You will also investigate the ethics relating to business and human relationships.
