Logic / Philosophy

Course summary

Philosophy is literally 'the love of ideas'. This subject is ideal for students who enjoy wrestling with big questions that often don't have answers, such as 'Is the world really as it appears to us?', 'Are we born knowing anything?', 'How do we make moral decisions?', 'Is it acceptable to lie under certain circumstances?', 'Is the mind the same thing as the brain?', and 'Does God exist?'. We explore answers suggested by some of the greatest minds in history. So, not only will studying Philosophy enlarge a student's understanding of their own existence, it will also demonstrate to universities and employers the quality of their mind, showcasing the highly prized skills of constructing arguments, thinking logically and creatively and communicating ideas clearly.
