Philosophy
The A2 course builds on the AS modules and the course enables students to develop their understanding of key philosophical concepts, themes, texts and techniques. Students specialise further, studying two themes in-depth for Unit 3, Philosophy of Mind and Political Philosophy.
For Unit 4 students engage with philosophical problems through the detailed study of a particular text (Descartes’ Meditations on First Philosophy). The course becomes more technical and students are expected to show a more extensive knowledge and deeper understanding of the writings of a range of philosophers.
