About this book

An exam guidance section in each chapter provides a focus for revision and includes advice on how different types of questions could be tackled. It encourages students to explore each area of scholarly knowledge required by the specification, from grasping key ideas to knowing how to best criticise a thinker's approach. It puts ideas and theories into contemporary contexts to help students build their evaluation skills. A timeline displays an overview of the key dates for each thinker in relation to world events. Key thinkers covered include Thomas Aquinas, John Stuart Mill, Thomas Hobbes, and Jeremy Bentham.
