I have a blog called 'emilydoesalevelrevision' which some unit 4 essays and resources- i should be uploading more model essays soon the link is below- x http://emilydoesalevelrevision.blogspot.co.uk/
Any of the articles in particular? Obviously links with Ayer and religious language, along with the AS arguments (he talks about deciding regularity means that God exists- this is linked to both teleological and cosmological.) Donovan- religious experience mainly....
Do you have any passages in mind? I don't want to blabb on about stuff you know already!
Also, I think I saw you on the AQA Psychology thread… am I right?

The conclusion paragraph for Ayer for instance. How would I go about with the 30 marker?
My teacher marked out the possible paragraphs for Donovan and Westphal (though Donovan is unlikely to come up).

Yes you have, do you do psychology too?
I would link the conclusion with religious language arguments. I would also link it with intuition (the stuff in Donovan, such as H.P. Owen and Buber), intuition in morality (such as W.D. Ross) and as Ayer comments that morality(and everything) should be based on science... a link with Utilitarianism may be possible?
Oh right, do you think you could let me know what your teacher thinks is possible, mine is new to this specification so doesn't really know!
Yes, I do psychology- OCD, Media, Aggression, Gender and Bio Rhythms

DONOVAN The introduction from "we laugh about the person who says..... - ....any further reason or offer any additional arguments?" The third section (feeling certain and being right)- the start of the paragraph to "....a feeling of certainty when we are right" Also, the last paragraph of the third section. The fourth section (knowledge about experience of)- "so 'mere factual knowledge' is by no means as unimportant......- ..... the philosopher would be more than content if even the former could be established for certain" The last paragraph of section 4 WESTPHAL The Commentary section of Hegal (the first part of the essay philosophical theology vs philosophy of religion) Pre-Kantian philosophoical theology- the first paragraph. the paragraph starting with "thus deist project is motivated by three powerful....." and the following paragraph. Post-Kantian reconstructions of the deist project The paragraph starting with "in the final three books of Religion..." and the following paragraph. He said the whole part on Schleiermacher is very unlikely to come up because the senior examiners said that they wouldn't expect students to know about Hegal. Hume and the hermeneutic of suspicion The first three paragraphs are likely.
All the paragraphs of Ayer are possible since it is a short essay.
Most people do well on the unit 4 paper to be fair so the grade boundaries are high. The examiners wouldn't mark it harshly so it shouldn't be too difficult to get a decent grade. There is too much to remember though!
Hi. I'm revising Westphal right now and I'm stuck on part B. Does anyone have any suggestions about why they agree/disagree with different aspects of the text and what the implications would be and why? Or know a good resource where I can have a look? Thanks!
