RELIGIOUS STUDIES: Philosophy of Religion and Ethics AS/A2

 

Advanced Level RS offers students an exciting opportunity to study and explore some of life’s most intriguing questions. The course contains four modules that are split into two areas: Philosophy of Religion and Ethics. Both sides of the course involve a study of a wide range of philosophers and theologians past and present, and draw on contemporary examples to ensure that debate is lively and relevant.  Issues covered include:

How and what can we know? What is truth? How should we live? Does God exist? If God exists, why is there suffering? Do miracles happen? Is there life after death? Has science made religion redundant? What principles should govern areas of sexual, medical and environmental ethics?  In a world of conflict, can religion still have a legitimate say over ethics? Does God speak to people today?
