This is the Philosophy paper in its entirety (61 pages). The Revision notes are organised under topics headings with ‘from the examiners’ boxes focusing on key areas students should be confident in discussing. Evaluation considers detailed responses to points raised creating argument ‘discussions’ that students can easily use in essays. It draws on material from across the entire course, e.g. a Wittgensteinian response to Plato’s theory of forms. Key words are highlighted as are the names of key thinkers. Compare and contrast tables appear where necessary (e.g. Plato and Aristotle) as do tables explaining complex points (e.g. how different philosophers use the word ‘mind’). The aim is for students to have total mastery of the ideas, and to be control of the arguments.
