Welcome to Philosophy Club THURSDAY LUNCH TIME in ROOM 15 |
| Introduction | This Week | Past Weeks |
This is a club designed to allow students lower down in the school access some of the more challenging quesitons which philosophers have considered over the centuries! Each week we will be considering a different topic and considering a different philosopher or school of philosophy. Anyone is welcome to attend! If you have any suggestions for topics, please do send them in! See you there! Mr. Winter (p.s. If you are worried about your lunch, don't worry you can bring that with you!!) |
Euthanasia is acceptable because there is no provable purpose or meaning to life! We will be looking at ideas of purpose and meaning to life. Is it possible to claim there is a meaning to life? If so why? Does it have to come from a religious background? Is it still possible to have a purpose without a universal truth? Philosophers: Turgenev, Nietzsche, Camus |
War is always wrong. Isn't it? 05/03/09 |
We will be looking at ideas of truth! Is it possible to claim a truth which applies to everyone or is truth only relative to the individual? Philosophers: Nietzsche, Sartre, Kant |
Is science the new religion? 26/02/09 |
The First Philosophy Club! We will be looking at the claims science makes based on evidence and considering whether they are any different to the claims religion makes? Philosophers: Kierkegaard |
