Welcome to Philosophy Zone
The Cranleigh School Philosophy Zone is an inter-school resource, containing material designed to stimulate discussion and debate amongst students as well as suggesting ideas that they could take further if they are doing a project, like the EPQ or HPQ.
It is authored by students at Cranleigh School doing the Philosophy Resources Community Service activity, with editorial oversight from Dr John Taylor (Assistant Head, Learning, Teaching & Innovation).
This resource is open to use by any school. Those studying Philosophy, Religious Studies or the EPQ will find it particularly useful. We encourage those who have found it useful to get in touch or post a comment on one of our blogs.
