A Level Philosophy will help you develop skills that will support you in university and employment. You will study ideas that are timeless, looking at philosophical texts from Ancient Greeks to the modern day. You learn to analyse valid points or the flaws in an argument. You study how society and the brain work. It is one of the oldest ‘sciences’ that seeks to explain human nature. You learn to think about things from different points of view, to debate and write in a clear, concise manner. We conside questions about how we organise society and how we make rules and crucially if we see things the same way. If you visit Greece you walk in the footsteps of ancient philosophers who laid down the foundations of democracy and education. You can be a part of this. In Philosophy you will study theories and discuss them in small groups. But don’t worry if on day one you feel shy about talking as we go through the year your knowledge and confidence will build and you will find yourself taking part in the debates
