Well done to him! When did he find out the news about them both and what college did he applied for at Cambridge?

He got Durham about two weeks ago, and his Cambridge interview today, and has applied to Clare.

In my PS? 'Puzzle of God/Evil', 'Meditations on First Philosophy' & 'Mein Kampf'
Besides this 'The God Delusion', plan to read some Hume, Wittgenstein & Russell aswell

Sounds good. I wouldn't trust the philosophy in the God Delusion, it gets ripped apart by so many philosophers (try John Lennox doing it on youtube). He's a biologist, not a philsopher. Yh Russell's Problems of Philosophy is pretty cool (even if the first three chapters are copied from Berkeley!)

I thought the admissions test was ok? Could've gone better, could've gone much worse, don't think anyone has heard about interviews yet ☺️

Utilitarianism, On Liberty and The Republic. Would like to read some Nietzsche cause I find him interesting. I'm applying for a joint in Politics and am working on The End of the Party by Andrew Rawnsley.

did anyone do any essay competitions?
I did the Fitzwilliam Classics essay competition which I was highly commended in
(I wrote on Plato's Republic so it was pretty much only philosophy)Original post by theravadaz
