- Religion and Philosophy TQA level 3 (RLP315110) [contributes to the calculation of Tertiary Entrance Ranks]
Religion and Philosophy draws together two significant areas of study and thought. The ways in which different cultures make sense of life and their place in it through religious ideas has an enormous impact on our world. Philosophical ideas reframe many of the same questions asked by religion and draw on logic, argument and reason to explore those questions. This course asks students to engage with the ways in which many thinkers and believers have attempted to explore issues of how to live a good life, what life means and what responsibilities they have to others.
The study of religious traditions gives students the opportunity to develop empathy and understanding of diversity in our community and to develop tolerance and appreciation for people and cultures quite different from their own. The study of philosophy supports this process of building empathy and tolerance as students are exposed to the structure of ideas, beliefs and values and they closely examine how a point of view is logically held and supported.
Religion and Philosophy aims to directly improve students' thinking, critical reasoning, evaluative skills and use of evidence in argument. It is a central goal of this course to assist students to think about problems deeply, logically and creatively. Through developing both writing and speaking skills, students are more able to express their position on an argument. All of these skills and capacities will assist students to, "become successful learners and confident and creative individuals" (Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australians 2008).
