| Description |
Philosophy is a fascinating subject. It deals with some of the most basic questions human beings have asked themselves. Rather than providing easy or ready-made solutions, this course encourages those who take it seriously to think about such questions systematically, to discuss them rigorously, to examine what others have said about them, to form considered judgements and derive sound conclusions from well-structured arguments.
By the end of the Philosophy course at Advanced Level, the learners will be able to demonstrate that they have acquired the necessary skills to deal confidently with the problems set in the Logic section of the course. They should also be able to present the main issues of the philosophy of language in a clear light and to discuss the specific problems in applied ethics (e.g. abortion, euthanasia, human sexuality, war, sustainable development and the rights of future generations) philosophically. They should be familiar with the main problems raised by ancient philosophers (from the Presocratics to Augustine) and show a thorough knowledge of the selected texts, taking a critical stance where necessary.
The Direcorate for Lifelong Learning shall be receiving applications between Friday 20th August and Friday 3rd September 2010 from 8.30am till noon. APPLICATIONS SENT BEFORE FRIDAY 20TH AUGUST SHALL NOT BE PROCESSED BEFORE THE OPENING DATE.
