About Philosophy

Philosophy asks what we can know, what we ought to do and what things are. These questions range across the classical texts — Plato and Aristotle most often — political philosophy from Hobbes and Locke, ethics, and African philosophy and national ideologies.

Popular topics in Philosophy

  • Ancient Philosophy

    Plato's theory of forms and the Republic, Aristotle's ethics and logic, and the Socratic method.

  • Epistemology

    Knowledge against belief, justification, rationalism and empiricism, and scepticism.

  • Ethics

    Utilitarianism, deontology and virtue ethics, moral relativism, and applying a theory to a case.

  • Political Philosophy

    The state of nature and the social contract in Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau, authority and liberty.

  • Metaphysics

    Being and substance, free will and determinism, personal identity and the mind-body problem.

  • African Philosophy

    Ubuntu and communal personhood, national philosophies such as Harambee and African socialism, and their critiques.

How ScanSolve helps with Philosophy

ScanSolve answers with the argument set out as premises and conclusion, then the objection, then the reply — the structure philosophy marks reward. Where a thinker is named, their position is stated in their own terms before it is evaluated.

Comparison questions are organised by issue rather than by thinker, so Hobbes and Locke are compared on the state of nature and on authority separately. Where a question invites a view, the answer takes one and defends it against the strongest objection to it.

Study tips for Philosophy

  1. 01

    Set arguments out as premises and a conclusion. It makes the weak step visible, which is what the question wants.

  2. 02

    Attribute positions precisely. "Hobbes says life is nasty, brutish and short" is worth more than "philosophers think people are selfish".

  3. 03

    Answer objections rather than restating your view. Philosophy marks go to the reply, not the repetition.

  4. 04

    Define your key term early and stick to that definition for the whole answer.
