Oh alright! You did link it well to the question, so tbh you should get good marks as it does employ Virtue Ethics anyway!! And yes acting in accordance with duty is due to emotions and our desires, which just happens to correspond with the right action so yup pretty much corect

Probably not. My teacher said philosophy grade boundaries are nearly always low. He’s also guessing this year will have lower boundaries than other years because of no AS exams. Apparently before people who would usually do worse would drop after getting bad AS results so there will apparently be more ‘worse’ students doing this exam than other years. Plus imo psychology and sociology are a lot easier than philosophy and they have low grade boundaries of about 72-78% for an A*. Kinda predicting that an A* shouldn’t be any more than 75% at the very most but who knows

I do all three of them subs and I will assure u that this ppr 2 exam was *****ttttt that RMs section omg

For innate knowledge :
Plato’s slaveboy arguement
Leibniz necessary truths
Chomsky’s argument and the Ferrell kids as an objection
Descartes argument for God
Then as an objection
Humes fork
Locke

I did Peter Carruthers for innate knowledge. It's not on the spec but my tutor told me you'd still get credit for it.
