Edexcel A2 Religious Studies, Unit 3, Developments: What to revise?

Original post by nicolesharp

can't remember what I wrote exclusively for the A01 bit but I know for the whole essay I talked about Swinburne's principle of credulity, Scheliermacher and the idea of the religious believers having an unobscured conscience, Wittgenstein's 'seeing-as'/experiencing-as, RM Hare and bliks and I think I mentioned Otto's definition of a numinous experience.

Wasn't part (I) on critiques?

I really wanted Ayer to come up, but now I've looked through all my notes I'm praying for Westphal! :colondollar:

but have a very sick feeling it will be Donovan again... :frown:

Just had a look at your website and it's SO helpful, literally so good!! Thank you so much for linking it! I've had a really crap philosophy teacher this year, so was so scared for implications as I did not understand it - but after looking on your website I finally get it! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

haha, you're welcome :'), I'm still cramming, turns out I made a mistake, I could only start revision on the 17th due to having three exams in a row last week!

I hope all is well then and good luck for tomorrow x

Guys what did u write?
For (a) I wrote about verification, falsification, mysticism, myth n symbol, principle of credulity / testimony, analogy of attribution/ proportionality and Athiesm. Is that right?
For (b) I wrote my opinion so agreeing and then why some people might disagree for example they play the language game then 4 implications for religion (2 positive n 2 negative ) then 4 implications for human experience.
What did you's write ?

Verification, atheism and falsification for AO1 - maybe I went for a bit more depth

AO2- I mentioned Swinburne's principle of testimony in passing, looked at language games. For implications I did one for religious belief (looking at Donovan's 'psychological certainty' and Hare's Bliks. Then for human experience, I looked at a point made by Stewart Sutherland

I got an A at AS, (176 UMS) so I need on average, a lowish B in each A2 exam to get an A overall. You should probably be about to get that, although the boundaries are very tight at A2, what did you get at AS?

I got a C, I got a B on foundations and C on ethics. But I retook ethics soo hopefully got a B overall last year now then today was good so hopefully got a B again but unit 3 wasn't the best as I only revised religious experience , language and religion n morality (silly mistake I know) just hope I've done enough to get a B or even a C! That's all I need for uni, have u applied?

Yeah, I've got a conditional from Exeter asking for AAB to do psychology. I think I'll need one of those As to be in philosophy…
