    It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out MarkedbyTeachers.com, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of essays in the UK.

    They've got over 181,000+ coursework, essays, homeworks etc.. all written by GCSE, A Level, University and IB students across all topics. You get access either by publishing some of your own work, or paying £5.99 for a month's access. Both ways give you unlimited access to all of the essays.

    All their documents are submitted to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, so it can't be misused, and the site's used by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

    What's more, you can take a look around the site and preview the work absolutely free. Click here to find out more...

    Anyone got any sample answers for AQA Philosophy exam questions..? Specifically Reason & Experience, Why Should I Be Moral?, Knowledge of the External World and Free Will & Determinism. I've never seen one so I'm finding it hard to formulate answers ..

    Unit 3:

    Philosophy of Religion
    You have to revise Critiques of Religious Belief as it may be linked with any topic in this section.
    1. Religious Experience OR Ontological Argument
    2. Life after Death OR Religious Language

    Ethics
    3. If you are revising critiques of religion and morality, then revise TWO out of: -deontology, -natural moral law, -virtue ethics. If you are NOT revising critiques of religion and morality, then revise ALL THREE.
    4. Justice Law and Punishment with relativism, subjectivity and objectivity OR Ethical Language.

    Of the four options, choose only three. for example, Ontological Argument, Religious Language and Ethical Language

    Hope this helps! :confused:

    Thanks for the link.

    Hi guys, this might sound out of the ordinary, but I have just graduated from university already (Chemistry major, and Philosophy minor).

    Right now, I want to look at some past papers on Philosophy because I have a great interest.

    Does anyone have any Religious Studies model answers, preferably on the 'miracles' and 'ethics' modules (eg. normative ethics, meta-ethics)?

    Re: A2 philosophy of religion essay
    Hmm I answered something similar years ago. Can't remember too clearly now, but you should talk about AJ Ayer when you're criticizing and making your arguments against. Ayer's the one who say that 'All God-talk is nonsensical'.
