Revision

Dear Students

For Friday's exam, please revise Reason and Experience, Persons and the first God unit. I have some handouts that a few of you asked for. The Reason and Experience question is compulsory.

Please read the relevant sections of the textbook. Revise all the topics thoroughly. Remember there will be shorter Part A questions and longer (essay length) Part B questions, where examples and fully developed arguments are required. On the blog, below, you will find posts on Personal Identity, Introduction to Reason and Experience, Rationalism, Empiricism, Criticisms of Empiricism and, lastly, Conceptual Schemes. You may need to click on Older Posts to read the earlier ones. Read them carefully. Make notes from them and from the textbook and other sources. Make sure you understand. This subject is much less about knowledge (although you are expected to know things!) as about understanding and arguing rationally.

Ask me questions via the blog.

Good luck!
