Philosophy is both exciting and disturbing, exciting because you will confront a range of strange new ideas and disturbing because those ideas will challenge many of your firmly held beliefs. Philosophy will suit students with open, enquiring minds, who want to explore questions such as Who am I? Does life have any purpose? Is my life just a dream? Do I have any free will? Young people aged 16-18. AS LevelWe will consider questions about the nature of knowledge and the extent to which we can be certain about anything. Do physical objects exist? How do I know whether I am dreaming right now? Can the existence of God be proved? A2 LevelWe will explore how we make moral decisions. Is there an absolute moral law or are our ideas about right and wrong simply emotional responses to the world? We will also examine questions in the philosophy of mind. Are humans simply biological machines or is there something mysterious about consciousness that means we will never explain it?
