The five most influential philosophers
July 4, 20145. Descartes The so-called ‘Father of Modern Philosophy’, this 17th century Frenchman not only pioneered analytical geometry, but also famously said ‘I think therefore I am’, a profound statement whose core principle sparked more modern movements such as Existentialism and Post-modernism in acknowledging that reality, first and foremost, sits within the individual and is formulated through the lens of an individual’s experience. 4.

Mark Steel: Just because you’re an atheist doesn’t make you rational
December 28, 2013Having followed the latest debate about religion, I’d say the conclusion is obvious that the only thing as disturbing as the religious is the modern atheist.

Over half of schools failing in religious studies
October 15, 2013More than half of England’s schools are failing pupils on religious education, the schools watchdog Ofsted has said. Its report accuses schools and the government of failing to focus effectively on the subject. It adds that six in 10 schools are not “realising the subject’s full potential” in an increasingly globalised and multicultural century. The Religious Education Council for England and Wales called the findings disappointing but not surprising. The report highlights low standards, weak teaching, weak examination provision and...
