Philosophy for A2: Unit 4 is the definitive textbook for students of the current AQA Advanced Level syllabus for philosophy. Structured very closely around the AQA specifications for Unit 4: Philosophical Problems, Michael Lacewing helps students to engage with and understand the arguments of the five key texts:

  • Hume's An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding
  • Plato's The Republic
  • Mill's On Liberty
  • Descartes' Meditations
  • Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil.

All chapters are helpfully subdivided into short digestible passages, and include:

  • quiz 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.

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 A2: Unit 4 is an essential companion for all students of A2 Level philosophy.

Michael Lacewing is Director of Research and Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at Heythrop College, University of London. He is founder of the company A Level Philosophy, and a consultant on philosophy at A Level for the British Philosophical Association.
