Philosophy and Ethics
Implementation
2008 was the first year of implementation. The first WACE examinations for Philosophy and Ethics will be conducted in 2009.
Summary
Philosophy and Ethics engages students with three classical questions of the human condition: ‘What is real?’; ‘How do we know?’ and ‘How should we live?’ Within this context, the course gives students the opportunity to explore and tackle the world of concepts from both contemporary and historical perspectives. Students are provided with an apprenticeship in concept clarification, concept evaluation and argument. They are taught the specific skills to inquire, reason and make judgements.
