Western philosophy includes discussions on the arguments for and against the existence of God, religious experience, the nature of the mind and body and what implications this has for a possible life after death. In Ethics, you will compare and contrast different ethical theories and apply them to ethical dilemmas such as euthanasia, business and sex. You will also study the philosophy of ethical language and the role of the conscience in moral decision making. You will explore Buddhism which is considered by many to be an Eastern philosophy rather than a religion. You will look at teachings on the nature of reality and human life, wisdom, morality and meditation.
At least five GCSEs at Grade 4 or above all from the core subjects. Examinations are essay based so a good standard of English is required. There is no expectation that you have studied the full course RE GCSE.
