Philosophy can not only be applied in different classes but in real life as well, thinking up ideas and learning how to critique constructively with logic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are multiple branches of philosophy which are studied in class, ranging from metaphysics- the nature of reality, to epistemology- the study of knowledge and senses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Philosophy is a really fun course and is great if you want to learn that \u2018All I know is that I know nothing\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By Georgia Hay, Jacinta da Silva, Seana Miao<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>BRAINways EDUCATION: Holiday Workshops for Gifted Students, Sydney, 13-14th April<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Programs are offered for students in Years 5-8:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">$54 per workshop<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The workshops are:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Mathematics of Wilderness Survival<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>The Medicine of Exhaustion<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Are We Living in a Computer Simulation?
