The BBC Future article “Deep ethics: The long-term quest to decide right from wrong” by SJ Beard is a great read for you as an A-level philosophy student. It takes you through the history of ethics, from the Golden Rule to Kantianism and utilitarianism, and explains how these ideas try—and sometimes fail—to guide real-world decisions, like those involving AI or global issues. Reading it will help you see how ethical theories develop, understand the challenges of applying them, and think critically about moral reasoning, universal principles, and modern ethical dilemmas.

The BBC Future article "Can physics prove if God exists?" by Monica Grady is useful for A-level philosophy because it looks at how science and religion connect. It asks if God would follow the laws of physics, mentions Einstein and modern science, and encourages thinking about divine power and what we can know. The article is clear and thought-provoking, linking science with philosophical questions.

The trolley problem is a famous thought experiment in moral philosophy. It asks whether you should pull a lever to divert a runaway trolley, killing one person instead of five. This highlights the dilemma of acting to cause harm versus not acting and allowing more harm. Utilitarianism links to this by suggesting the right choice is the one that maximises overall happiness, which would mean saving the five lives — but what would you do?

God is often described as the greatest possible being. He is believed to be all-powerful (omnipotent), all-knowing (omniscient), and present everywhere (omnipresent). God is also thought to be perfectly good (omnibenevolent) and everlasting. These qualities are known as the divine attributes — watch the video to learn more.
