Philosophy is at one and the same time a fascinating and frustrating subject. It deals with the big questions in life and can leave one equally inspired or bewildered. Philosophy: Themes and Thinkers covers the central themes of philosophy and key Western philosophical texts. As well as gaining a thorough grounding in these areas, students will develop the ability to analyse and assess philosophical arguments, form their own judgements and contribute effectively to the process of debate. The text is suitable for Year 11 and 12 students, particularly those studying the IB Diploma.
