Aims

The tutorial classes complement the training offered in the philosophy lectures by focusing on the reading of philosophical texts, preparing assignments on philosophical topics, issues or writers and oral communication. First of all, they prepare students to produce a final Bachelors paper and to play an active part in seminars on 3rd year texts. The skills they will acquire include documentary research in philosophy, making the best use of documentation in conformity with academic standards (quotations, references etc.) written and oral communication which displays appropriate and precise reading of texts and relevant use of the secondary literature for a critical commentary or a philosophical essay. These skills must be developed together, not in isolation. However, each series of the tutorial classes focuses more specifically on one of them.

In this second series, in order to deepen understanding of what was taught in the first semester, the emphasis is on formal analysis, logical sequencing in reading text and on writing (through concepts or general topics in philosophy) with logical structuring and conceptual precision, reading, comprehension and commentaries on texts and the ability to express these skills in writing, in good French, using logical reasoning and in line with prevailing standards in philosophy.
