Course summary

You will engage with the big questions in a secular context: Can we be sure that we really exist? How should we behave? Should we believe in God? Who/what am I? These are all questions that don’t have easy or obvious answers. Not only will you have the opportunity to explore and debate these fundamental questions, you will also learn to be clear and precise in your thinking and writing, how to analyse and evaluate the arguments of others and how to construct and defend your own arguments. Are you prepared to open your mind to see things in a different way? Do you enjoy arguing constructively? Are you willing to tackle some thought-provoking ideas? If so, Philosophy is for you! Year 1 Epistemology (What can we know and how can we know it? Should we trust our senses? Are we born with any knowledge?) Moral Philosophy (How do we decide what is morally right and wrong? Is it wrong to eat meat? Does it matter if I play violent video games?) Year 2 Metaphysics of God (Does the concept of God make sense? Can we prove that God exists? Does the existence of evil and suffering prove that God does not exist?) Metaphysics of Mind (What is the mind and how does it relate to the body? Do we have a soul? Can I know if other people have minds?)
