Philosophy Trips.

Walk the city where Western philosophy started.

Why take philosophy out of the classroom

Philosophy can feel abstract until you are standing in the Agora where Socrates questioned passers-by. Athens gives the subject a geography: democracy, ethics and metaphysics in the streets where they were first argued.

For A-level students the trip connects ancient philosophy to the modern debates in the specification. For many it is the moment the subject stops being a set of texts and becomes a tradition they are part of.

The ancient sites with expert context

The Acropolis, the Agora and the museums, visited with the ideas in view rather than just the architecture.

Links across the specification
