Far too tired after long flight to study, so decided to try and work out what to concentrate on when studying for the exam. Going by what has been said regarding the suggestion that no TMA related subjects / questions will be coming up in the exam, just now I am leaning towards.....
1. Book 6 Politics,
as we have to read all chapters for the TMA so it should be fresh and the reading completed.
2. Book 1 Self,
Locke has been done so it is just Hume and Parfit to revise, and that was fairly straight forward, I think.
3. Book 5 Mind,
Dualism, Functionalism, Identity Theory, Types & Tokens and Consciousness, another recent Book and I think Nagel will come up. The paper on the external mind is just too weak to be examined on.
As emergency back-ups...
A. Book 2 Religion,
I'm all over the argument for design - would have been perfect for me for the exam - this only really leaves "The Problem of Evil" and "Acts of God". Both smallish subjects, and a good standby, and if the religious question strays towards evolution in any way I'll probably jump at it.
B. Book 3 Ethics,
Bentham and Mills were straightforward for the TMA. Kant and abortion have to come up....... worth a read and revise.
So at present, I'm definitely planning on completely ignoring Book 4 Knowledge, so at least I've narrowed the revision down a bit. I'll wait and see what my tutor says at the next tutorial.
AND NO.... I STILL DON'T HAVE TMA05 BACK - tomorrow is day 14, so fingers crossed, otherwise I'll have to email and see what is going on :-(
