AS Philosophy

UPDATED 20160805 14:25:13

The AS/A2 Philosophy course is a new addition to the curriculum at Carmel. A demanding but very rewarding course, Philosophy explores a range of key branches within the discipline, including Epistemology (philosophy of knowledge); Philosophy of Mind; Moral Philosophy; and Philosophy of Religion. The course allows students the opportunity to nurture advanced skills of argument analysis and precision of thought. Complemented by independent study of primary texts, from Plato through to Descartes, students can expect lessons in which complex arguments are unpacked and evaluated - excellent preparation for the intellectual demands of higher level study.
