Preparatory reading for Philosophy (CSP, MP, PP)
Writing Philosophy essays
There are a number of helpful guides to writing philosophical essays. Those that previous students have found most helpful are listed here.
- C. Benn, C. Cameron, A. Cawston and S. Siriwardena, Tackling the Philosophy Essay
- P. Lipton, Writing Philosophy
- J. Pryor, Guidelines on Writing a Philosophy Paper
We also recommend making good use of The Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy by Simon Blackburn (Oxford University Press) – especially if you feel tempted to use a term of art without knowing exactly what it means!
