This is a fascinating course that looks at questions such as: ‘Can we know that God exists? ’‘Why is there evil and suffering?’ ‘Is it ever morally right to go to war?’ ‘Are abortions acceptable?’ The course gives students the opportunity to develop their philosophical thinking skills and put very famous arguments to the test. It is an excellent preparation for university, as we encourage learning through discussion, engagement with famous primary texts and independent research.
