11th NovemberPhilosothon at Northwood College
On 21st February, ten students from Years 10, 11 and 12, competed admirably at this year’s Philosothon, hosted at Northwood College.
Giving up the Wednesday afternoon of February half term, our team of students competed against others from Putney, South Hampstead, Parmiter’s and Watford Girls. After receiving some training about how to engage in philosophical enquiry, students took part in small group discussions which were then judged.
The two rounds of philosophical dialogue saw students discussing Robert Nozick’s Experience Machine and the Benevolent Dictator scenario - thinking through important questions about happiness, free will, law and kindness.
Students were assessed on their ability to listen carefully, respond appropriately and advance the philosophical discussion. Our students were praised for their thoughtful, responsive and insightful contributions.
We are so proud of the 2024 team - Rahma, Mehara, Leila, Brandon, Zuriel, Ashla, Nathan, Kabir, Ethan and Niya, who all did a fantastic job representing Croxley Danes.
