WHAT WILL I STUDY? In Unit 1 (Philosophy of Religion) students consider topics including the ancient Greek philosophy of Plato and Aristotle and traditional arguments for the existence of God, challenges to religious belief from psychology and sociology and the problem of evil. In Unit 2 (Religious and Ethics) students consider topics such as differing ethical theories (e.g. Kant, Bentham, Mill) and practical ethics as applied to medical ethics (e.g. abortion, euthanasia and genetic engineering). In Unit 3 (Development in Religious Thoughts) students will consider topics such as looking in depth at religious beliefs, values and teachings, their interconnections and how they vary historically and in the contemporary world. HOW IS THE COURSE ASSESSED? Each unit is assessed by a written examination. WHERE NEXT? If students are applying to University, they will be well placed to study Philosophy as a companion to a whole range of other subjects, as well as in its own right. This course is well regarded by Universities and employers.
