Philosophy
We follow the AQA exam syllabus.
At AS level students study four subject areas in preparation for two papers (Units 1 & 2) taken in the Summer Term. The four areas are:
- Reason and Experience (compulsory for all candidates)
- ‘Why should I be governed?’ (Political Philosophy)
- ‘Why do we value art?’ (Aesthetic Philosophy)
- Knowledge of the External World
At AS level the emphasis is on developing skills of analysis through reading, writing and discussion. A wide range of resources and methods is used to enable students to engage actively with the subject.
