general feedback:

  • don’t confuse meta-ethics w normative ethics

    • normative ethics = analysis of ethical behaviour to judge whether it is ‘good’

    • meta-ethics = analysis of ethical language to establish if we can ‘know’ what is good

  • broadening of scholarly views » don’t limit yourself to just one philosopher/theory for As and A*s

    • naturalism: Philippa Foot

    • emotivism: CL Stevenson

    • intuitionism: WD Ross

  • establish a firm understanding of the difference between the cognitive and non-cognitive approach » common terms on meta-ethics

    • avoid using terms like “objective/absolutists” and “subjective/relativist” » more common for normative ethics

  • use examples and analogies » this will demo the necessary depth of understanding n provide appropriate evidence for critical arguments to gain the A and A* grades
