AQA A-Level Philosophy - Epistemology

This resource contains all lessons for ‘Epistemology’ under AQA’s A-Level Philosophy course. Relevant for either the AS or A-Level, these resources summarise each respective argument/theory, alongside their critiques and any relevant defences. Exam questions are also included routinely.

Unit contains:

• Definitions of knowledge (JTB, Gettier, Fake Barn cases, Infallibilism, ‘no false lemmas’, Reliabilism and Epistemic Virtue)
• Perception as a source of knowledge (Direct Realism, Indirect Realism, Idealism)
• Reason as a source of knowledge (Innatism, ‘Tabula Rasa’, the Intuition and Deduction Thesis, Hume’s Fork, The Cogito and Descartes proof of God)
• The limitations of knowledge (philosophical scepticism, Cartesian scepticism)

Whilst this contains all relevant theoretical materials, and poses questions to probe understanding, please use the approved AQA textbook for relevant activities.
