    I find this anti-realism or whatever you are describing as more honest way of arguing. This way instead of saying "murder is bad... just because" we translate argument into objective field: "spread of murder in general is not beneficial for me, because i don't want having higher chances of being executed or killed or what not, even if others kill others it is still not beneficial to me because dead people do not pay taxes, and i get less social benefits". The scariest part is that to forbid anything through law we must make majority of people agree. UPD: You can't prove anything, only convince. Outside of materialistic arguments only way to influence people is through aesthetics

    I'm not studying A level philosophy at the moment but I've applied to take the course (beginning September) as I've been interested for a while. I'd like to know what are your thoughts on the course in general and what scope of philosophy is covered besides meta-ethics. It doesn't seem too popular where I'm based and it seems hard to find feedback on the course. Great video btw

    • @samfindon03
      @samfindon03 Місяць тому

      Content depends on the exam board which your sixth form uses, all my experience is with AQA. The spec covers some foundational epistemology (Propositional knowledge, Scepticism, Perception, etc), Ethics (Act, Rule and character based approaches) God (arguments for, against and religious language) and Mind (dualism and materialism). It was very rewarding to study though difficult at times, it massively improved my reasoning and my writing for other subjects as well. I always recommend to students considering studying Philosophy to do some pre-study by watching some videos, or exploring a topic of interest so you know what you are getting into, because many students drop out as there expectations are inaccurate. Hope this helps :)

    Hi sam ngl i struggle answering questions in the exam what structures should i use ?

    • @samfindon03
      @samfindon03 Місяць тому

      In regards to structure, for 3s and 5s your best bet is 3 or 5 full sentences linked with analytical phrases (this means that, this works by, because of this). This is similar to 12, but you will need an intro and a paragraph for each demand of the question. For 25s, swap the analytical language for evaluative language (this is strong because, this is significant because, this attack fails on the grounds that) and then provide an intro, and three paragraphs each with an argument, a counter and evaluation throughout, not just evaluation at the end. Hope this helps, shoot me an email if you'd like more advice :)
