These clear and engaging revision sheets are indented for independent study or to aid revision for the scholar Epicurus in the topics of Ancient Philosophy and Utilitarianism. Each sheet is downloaded as an A3 Word document and an A4 PDF, for compatibility.
I felt it was important to make these sheets as my students sometimes misunderstood the context of the philosophers or the chronology of the arguments (and responses). Therefore, these context sheets aim to tackle these misconceptions and re-examine the theory and/or philosopher within the context in which they should be viewed.
A sample context sheet can be found here:
