A Level Philosophy is an introduction to philosophical thinking. It covers the same areas as would be covered in a typical first-year undergraduate course, but at a gentler pace, giving a good introduction. A-level philosophy comprises four topic areas: Epistemology, Moral philosophy, The Metaphysics of God & The Metaphysics of mind.

​

An A Level Philosophy course works mainly by getting you to do a lot of thinking. This goal-driven thinking will typically happen in four or five different ways. Getting a grasp on what the ideas are at all and their place in the debate will probably happen through listening to an explanation—perhaps in dialogue—and through reading.  Discussion and debate help you clarify and evaluate your grasp of concepts and of arguments (on both sides). Even more important is the extended period of thinking on your own, in which you go over and over an idea until you have the sort of complete and lucid insight into it that enables effective use of it. Finally, writing about an idea clarifies your thinking as well as expressing it, forcing you to think about how precision can be achieved, and to come to some 
conclusions about the issues.
