Philosophy, Religion and Ethics

Course summary

Would you do something bad to achieve something good? Are humans born with an orientation towards good or evil? Are there some actions that are always wrong? How would you respond to a friend who tells you that she/he had a vision of God? Do humans have a soul? Is there such a thing as ‘sin’? Is gender still relevant in today’s society? Can a male saviour save women? These are some of the questions you will wrestle with at A Level in RS. The study of Philosophy and Ethics is an exciting and inspiring academic subject, rooted in the ancient Greek philosophy which arguably formed the basis of western thought.
