Course summary

This course is for anyone who is interested in exploring big issues. It is about asking ‘what is life about?’ (Philosophy), ‘what is right and wrong?’ (Ethics) and ‘what does Christianity say about these issues’ (Religion). Questions discussed range from ‘are humans totally free?’ to ‘is there life after death?’ to ‘has science disproved God?’ Anyone willing to discuss, question and explore the way people think and act, today and how they did in the past, is welcome to take this course. In fact a true Philosopher ‘loves wisdom’ by definition. There are regular meetings of Philosophy Society with talks and debates led by students and teachers. We normally also take students to a conference given by influential speakers from Higher Education. The Philosophy side of the course is taught by Mr Wright who has Undergraduate Degrees in Natural Sciences from Cambridge, Theology from Durham and a Masters from Heythrop College London. His area of particular interest is the interface between Science and Philosophy / Theology and he wrote a course guide which has been used by the University of London undergraduate degree programme on this subject. Miss Bax teaches the Ethics side of the course. She studied at Edinburgh University and, having travelled widely, has a great interest in World Religions and the implications of Ethical theories in the modern world.
