Philosophy and Ethics is a unique A Level as it requires developing an in-depth understanding of the history of thought and belief. We will study classical theorists such as Plato and Aristotle, alongside contemporary thinkers from a range of perspectives, including religious and non-religious. It is intellectually demanding and highly regarded by universities and professions such as Law, Economics, Teaching, Medicine, Accountancy and Journalism.
No prior learning in the field of Religious Studies is required however the pupil must be prepared to read widely and to complete sufficient (independent) purposeful practice. With this firmly in mind, the minimum requirement in English is a grade 5 at GCSE for both Language and Literature. A full reading list is available before the commencement of the course, and pupils should take advantage of this. This includes Traditional Arguments for the Existence of God, The problem of Evil & Religion & Science.
