Complied resource of all 5 mark and some 12 mark questions and answers on the Metaphysics of mind topic of the AQA A level Philosophy specification

This resource contains all lessons for ‘the Attributes of God’ under the ‘Metaphysics of God’ unit for AQA’s A-Level Philosophy course. Relevant for the A-Level course, these resources summarise each respective argument/theory, alongside their critiques and any relevant defences. Exam questions are also included routinely. Unit contains: God as omnipotent and the issues with this (The Paradox of the Stone and The Euthyphro Dilemma) God as omniscient (and immutable) and issues with this (free will) God as omnibenevolent (the perfect and moral views) and issues with this (the problem of evil) God as Eternal and Everlasting Whilst this contains all relevant theoretical materials, and poses questions to probe understanding, please use the approved AQA textbook for relevant activities. Note: any extra materials/resources or videos used herewithin are not owned by me, and I take no credit for these. Please refer to their URL links for the original designer/creator.

These detailed course / revision notes were specially written to give AQA A Level Philosophy students a comprehensive understanding of the key knowledge from the specification for unit 3.1 Epistemology: What is knowledge? - The tripartite view Perception as a source of knowledge - Direct realism - Indirect realism - Berkeley’s Idealism Reason as a source of knowledge - Innatism - The intuition and deduction thesis The limits of knowledge These extensive notes are especially useful for students whose note-taking in lesson isn’t as good as others, or whose organisational skills mean they are missing notes/handouts on certain topics / areas. These notes will certainly help reduce the time it takes them to catch up with their peers, and also students like to use these as a checklist of topics to go into in further detail. They give peace of mind that every corner of the specification/syllabus has been covered. These notes can be given to students to work through at their own pace, or split up and given to students as and when each part of the content is studied throughout the course. As the teacher you may find it useful to go through the notes with my students as they highlight and annotate them with anything extra you want to give them according to their level. These notes though are comprehensive and detailed and work just as well as a stand alone revision aid as they do an in-class resource. Hopefully these notes help to save your students (and you!) some time in the hectic run up to exams. Thanks for taking a look :)
