Course Outline Assessment This course seeks to introduce you to a new way of thinking and looking at the world. It is a subject based around questions, discussions and thinking. In Philosophy, we look at questions (and answers) around how we should live, what we can know, what is real and what is the right thing to do. Assessment The course features three main assessment tasks: A short-answer study of ’The Truman Show.’ A podcast on the ideas of a philosopher of your choice. A written investigation into an ethical issue.

Topics Covered What is real and what can we know? Should we trust our beliefs? Does the truth matter? Can we time travel? What does a good life look like? What sort of society should we live in? What drives us to behave the way we do? What is the right thing to do? Looking at the foundations of morality and examining which ‘code’ is the best one to live by. The ethics of animals, war, love, fame etc.

Topics continued… The 21st century What sort of world might we be living in the near future? Do we have answers to some of the key questions the future is going to pose to us? Insert images if appropriate
