I'm doing units 1&3, they are resits. I got U's in them both last year...oops! It's likely that idealism/rationalism will come up; it was empiricism last year, along with naive realism I believe. I'm doing Plato for unit 3; I like him quite a lot, so am revising quite hard for unit 3.

It is annoying, seeing as they will be my 4th and 5th exams this week, AND it's my last day of Year 13 tomorrow, and cannot enjoy the afternoon, as I will be stuck in the exam room :frown:

haha, true, very few people do sartre, but i like him though. Am feeling quite optimistic about moral philosophy, think the c) qs will be on utilitarianism! what do you reckon for sartre? I personally thought maybe an asses qs on freedom and its implications -anguish, abondement, despair?

Sartre is a bit of a hard one to predict seeing as there is only one question to choose from,however I am thinking something to do with Freedom..hey wait that's what you said!Lol yeah Im thinking freedom too..
OOoh Unit 2,Im sort of preparing myself for a Utilitarianism+an issue,like abortion,animal welfare,euthanasia..

Im most worried about Tok! its true though, I have a feeling that I don't know enough but as I'm reading things over I do all know it, jus nervous I guess! Do u know any qoutes for sarte? I hardly know any! btw if there is a question on utilitarianism + issue, when you're evaluating it, do you constantly refer to the issue or state the strengths and weaknesses of utilitarianism in general?

personally i would do it from the angle of pref utilitarianism,and say about maximising satisfaction of all those involved(P Singer's theory)..and just talk abt the foetus being a homo sapien..it does not have the potential to reflect..HOWEVER *dingding* if utilitarianism is a consequentialist theory,it shud take into account that the foetus has the potential to reflect etc..and then take stance after 4 eval points.
