Epistemology - Perception as knowledge

This resource contains all lessons for the second section of ‘Epistemology’ (perception as a source of knowledge) under AQA’s A-Level Philosophy course. Relevant for either the AS or A-Level, these resources summarise each respective argument/theory, alongside their critiques and any relevant defences. Exam questions are also included routinely.

Unit contains:

• Realism
• Direct Realism and its issues (perceptual variation, illusion, hallucination and time-lag)
• Indirect Realism and its issues (scepticism about mind-independent objects)
• Berkeley’s Idealism and its issues

Whilst this contains all relevant theoretical materials, and poses questions to probe understanding, please use the approved AQA textbook for relevant activities.
