This course offers you the opportunity to ask meaningful questions about the world around you, understand the influence of philosophy on modern thinking and the concepts of good, bad, right and wrong. It also offers you the opportunity to explore religious beliefs, values and teachings, sources of wisdom and authority and practices that shape and express religious identity.
