Hmm, horrible feeling it could be about the importance of the individual! In which case I'm stuffed! Also might just cry if synthetic and analytic statements comes up as the 30 mark question! Hopefully it will be categorical imperative and religion!!

Same here! You were the only one who came up for WJEC. For Kant they might do one with WD Ross for the 30? For Virtue I reckon a religious Q might come up, whether that's 20/30 marks I'm not sure. I'm so nervous

That's what it was last year so I wouldn't worry. Plus it's quite simple as it's just a straightforward outline Kant essay just using the key words from the title

I won't mind if it's WD Ross!! I might manage with that! However I think that was the 20 mark last year! I'm not doing virtue unfortunately because I just can't remember any of it haha! So I picked just war theory as I find it a bit more simple!

importance of the individual?
Yeah it's so basic, just add a little bit about the prima facies on the end! Oooh good luck! I'm sure you will be fine! :smile:

Is it the rationality and autonomy and Kant rejects euthyphro alternatives?

I have no idea lol but my teacher said if that comes up, avoid it like the plague and pick another topic... Which I'll struggle with as I only know 2!

I think it's literally just a basic Kant Q but I'm not too sure
