The course will prepare candidates for the AEB 'A' level examination in June 2000. We will study the basic teachings of the world's greatest philosphers in their quest to answer Mankind's deepest questions about Life and the universe. Philosophy appears remote from people's everyday lives, but the reality is that it has more influence than anything else. We will study its effects on Psychological Theory, Law, Politics, Religion, Ethics, Literature and Art. Philosophy is particularly valuable to study in conjunction with these subjects. Philosophy examines and challenges beliefs, sharpens thinking and develops clarity of understanding and judgement. For those reasons, the value of philosophical study is acknowledged by most employers, as well as all Universities. This course is a MUST for anyone who has ever gazed up at the Universe and thought 'what on earth is it all about?'
