Philosophy and Theology

Course summary

Are you interested in discussing and debating life's toughest questions? Do you like challenging others' ideas, and are you comfortable having your ideas challenged too? Then this is the course for you! The Religion & Philosophy Department at KGS will help you navigate through a truly fascinating set of questions such as, how can we know what is real?, 'what is the best way to ensure we act morally?', and 'Does God exist?' If you enjoyed GCSE Religious Studies then you can expect a great deal more discussion and depth of study of these topics in the Sixth Form, but equally, there is no requirement for you to have studied this subject beforehand at all! A true philosopher thinks deeply and clearly and enjoys debate and problem-solving. This subject sits naturally alongside any of the others on offer at KGS.
