In doing this, you will: understand the ways in which philosophers have analysed the core concepts of philosophy, and be able to identify how subtle differences in analyses can have wider impacts on philosophical arguments; understand the main philosophical arguments within topics, through the works of philosophers, and articulate those arguments in appropriate forms, correctly, clearly and precisely; and, understand the philosophical claims which are made within each topic and be able to articulate those claims correctly, clearly and precisely.
