Philosophy A Level

If you’re looking for a subject which will help you develop the skills of clear thinking and analysis, then Philosophy is ideal. If you want a subject that is well regarded by employers and universities, then Philosophy fits the bill.

Philosophy considers questions such as: 

• What is knowledge and how do we obtain it?

• Can I know there is an external world?

• Could you be a brain in a vat?

• Is there a coherent definition of God?

• Are there any good arguments for the existence of God?

• How can we (really) explain the fact that there is evil?

• Is my mind just my brain?

• Do I have freewill?

• Could a computer be a person? 

• Is it the consequences of an action or your intentions that matter in judging if it’s right or wrong?

• Is morality objective or subjective?

Philosophy combines well with any humanity or social science subjects and with mathematics and the sciences.
