I did law too! which qn did you attempt


I did question 1 (does prison work?). I can imagine that some ppl chose not to look into this one as it is incredibly vague but I choose it exactly for that reason. I had never written an essay of this kind or length so I thought it would be a good start. which one did you do?

I'm wondering whether anybody knows when the high commendation and the winners will be announced? Will they only announce it at the Prize ceremony?

I’m pretty sure the commendations and winners will be announced only at the ceremony. That’s why they invited all shortlisted contestants to come; to be surprised if they win something. It wouldn’t make sense to make everyone come all the way to Oxford if not everyone won something lol

i did the question 'is there such a thing as a common good?' and yes, i'd very much agree that philosophy is a difficult subject, yet it is also super interesting personally.

ohh! i also took a look at the 'why would god be so coy?" question, it seems so interesting but too big brain for me ahhaa. dm me if u'd like to chat hehee


Oh, the common good question, nice. That’s a tough one, kudos to you for tackling it!

I’d be happy to chat in dms, but my account is still new so I can’t dm anybody yet. I’ll send a message once I can and maybe we can talk some more!

Anybody here who did History and is attending the dinner on 10th?

Hey guys! I was wondering if any of you got an email with more info about the awards ceremony? It’s been over three weeks since the shortlist came out and I still haven’t received anything, which makes me a bit worried since I plan on going and need time to plan.

Thanks!
