Logic / Philosophy

Course summary

Philosophy — literally, ‘the love of wisdom’ — studies what is means to be a human being and explores life’s fundamental yet undecided questions: What is knowledge? How do we attain knowledge? What is a successful human life? What makes an action right or wrong? What is the mind? Is the mind distinct from the body? What is politics? How should we be governed? What is ‘God’? Philosophy lessons focus on opportunities for discussion underpinned by a thorough understanding of the ideas of past and present philosophers. Attention to detail, a logical and creative mind, and an enthusiasm for the questions under consideration are essential qualities for the budding philosophy student.
