What will I learn? This is an incredibly diverse course that aims to develop students key skills through an in depth study of traditional philosophical thought and ethical theories. In the Philosophy of Religion unit, students begin by studying the ancient Greek philosophers, then work through thousands of years of philosophical thought in an attempt to answer key questions including ‘what is reality?’, ‘does God exist?’, ‘what happens when we die?’ and ‘do humans really have a soul’? The A2 course develops these ideas and students study language, assessing whether statements about religion and philosophy are meaningful. Students also look in depth at religious experiences and miracles, analysing whether or not people can really experience God in their everyday lives. In the study of religious ethics, students will study different ethical theories including utilitarianism and Kantian ethics and consider how we know the difference between right and wrong, whether we can say for definite if an action is wrong and debate whether we are influenced by pleasure and pain. This will lead to applied ethics units where students will apply ethical theories to modern life issues. In the A2 course, students will continue their study of ethical theories, looking at the language of ethics and the role of conscience in human’s decision making. Philosophy and Ethics lessons are incredibly diverse, with lively debates, studying philosopher’s original writings, and analysing and assessing key ideas.
