Logic / Philosophy

Course summary

In the first year of the course, you’ll study two philosophical topics: Epistemology (including some metaphysics) and Ethics. You’ll explore and investigate particular theories and issues around these topics. In the second year, you’ll study the Philosophy of Religion as well as the Philosophy of Mind. The emphasis in the second year is examining the arguments of classic authors and seeing why they succeed or fail. As well as learning about a wide range of challenging and influential thinkers, you’ll also learn to express yourself clearly and with precision, weighing up all the aspects of a question to reach a well-supported conclusion. You will also have the opportunity to make presentations on particular topics to the rest of the class.
