Religion, the theory of knowledge and moral philosophy
Religion, the theory of knowledge and moral philosophy
A problem faced by students of philosophy lies in the fact that core philosophical arguments are very often buried in discursive text and can be difficult to discern.
“Philosophical Arguments” which is designed for IB Students and A Level philosophy and religious studies students presents and discusses such arguments and, where relevant, looks at individual philosophers in a way that is accessible and comprehensible to students.
After each argument there is an explanation – where necessary – of each part of the argument, followed by discussion of any problems or issues arising. Finally there are questions and points for discussion.
Philosophical Arguments (which is available as a photocopiable volume or on CD so that it can be loaded onto the school’s learning platform) covers the modules concerning Theory of Knowledge, Moral Philosophy and Philosophy of Religion.
There is also extensive material on God and Moral Philosophy which is suitable for A level Religious Studies students whose course includes some Philosophy of Religion and Ethics. Of particular relevance are sections on: arguments for the existence of God; faith, reason and belief; religious experience; God and morality; miracles.
