I do but my hard drive is in work so will forward some exemplars next week.

Our class is having to teach ourselves this side of the course as our philosophy teacher has gone on maternity leave and have been unable to hire another philosophy specialist. Is there any chance you could send me the resources please?

Thank you

if part i asked for weaknesses of ontological argument, what would you put? (also, what would you put in part ii as you would have used gaunilo, kant's.. argument?)

Does anyone know whether the ontological argument will come up on its own or whether I have to learn religious experience and non-belied too?

Best to learn 2 out of the 3 for that section as ontological could come up as part i of the question but atheistic belief may come up as part ii. Or as what happened last year atheistic belief could come up INSTEAD of ontological all together (last year it came up instead of REX). They have never since 2010 mixed REX and onto so I doubt that is a possibility but knowing atheistic belief could save your save a grade. This applies to religion and morality too for ethics where it may come up with other ethical theories as a comparison questions or as separate questions

I reckon it could be Westphal - Ayer came up last year and Donovan the year before that (+Donovan has come up more than Westphal)

So are you not going to revise the other 2 as much? Or not revise Ayer at all ? What are your class mates doing

Also how did your unit 3 exam go? Absolutely messed up the A02's, had no quotes and few references for religious language a02, and literally made up the most generalised points :frown:

how harsh are they with that sort of thing because I really want an a*😭

Going to revise all 3, but with specific consideration to Westphal. Possibly going to learn a structured part b. answer on the implications.

Quotes aren't essential so I wouldn't worry too much. I stray on the side of caution so can be very pessimistic about my exam performance - you never really know with humanities. For Q2 I did Life after Death, only one of the 3 I'm most concerned about - just tried to include everything and throw enough mud that it sticks.
