What the college says

‘The unexamined life is not worth living.’- Socrates, Ancient Greek Philosopher To enjoy an A level in Philosophy you must have an enquiring mind, an interest in challenging your mind with logical problems and a desire to examine some of the most important questions which face humankind.
