Philosophy for AS is the definitive textbook for students of the current AQA Advanced Subsidiary Level. Structured closely around the examination specifications, it covers the two units of the AS Level in an exceptionally clear and student-friendly style. As an invitation to philosophy, the book encourages and enables students to engage philosophically with the following syllabus topics:
reason and experience
Why should I be governed?
Why should I be moral?
the idea of God
persons
knowledge of the external world
tolerance
the value of art
God and the world
the debate about free will and determinism.
Each chapter contains an introduction to the basic ideas, arguments and objections of the issue, and a development section, which clarifies the previous material, introduces more complex ideas, and encourages students to link up ideas and draw new implications. To aid student learning and revision, each chapter includes:
comprehension questions to test core knowledge
discussion questions to deepen understanding
'going further' sections for advanced study
cross-references to help students make connections
helpful summaries and a glossary.
In addition, a chapter on exam preparation contains a wealth of helpful hints and tips on revision and exam techniques.
