AS Philosophy 2008

About the Book

Philosophy for AS is the definitive textbook for students of the new AQA Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabus beginning in 2008. Structured closely around the AQA specifications, it covers the two units of the AS level in an exceptionally clear and student-friendly style. All chapters are helpfully subdivided into short digestible passages, and include:

• quiz and past exam questions to test core knowledge
• discussion questions to deepen understanding
• ‘going further’ sections for advanced study
• text boxes highlighting key definitions and arguments
• cross-references to help students make connections
• lively illustrations, diagrams and a glossary.

In addition, a chapter on exam preparation contains a wealth of helpful hints and tips on revision and exam techniques. Written by an experienced philosopher and A level consultant, Philosophy for AS is an essential companion for all students of AS level philosophy.
