Who is more foolish, the child afraid of the dark or the man afraid of the light?
Maurice Freehill
 
“Philosophy teaches you ‘how’ to think, not ‘what’ to think. It’s a great subject if you want to continue to do anything that involves public speaking or presenting an argument, like Law. It wasn’t my first choice at the end of year 11 but it’s turned out to be my favourite subject.”

Philosophy will help you make informed judgements about current and classic thought-provoking ideas, developing your ability to spot arguments which are flawed and articulate your own opinions with clarity and precision.
