This year's philosophy exam for French baccalauréat candidates

quote:
Série L (littéraire), coefficient 7
• Le juste et l'injuste ne sont-ils que des conventions?
• Le langage ne sert-il qu'à communiquer?
• Expliquer un texte de John Stuart Mill sur la nature et comment l'homme peut l'apprivoiser, la changer ou s'y soumettre

Série ES (économique), coefficient 4
• Qu'attendons-nous de la technique?
• L'action politique doit-elle être guidée par la connaissance de l'histoire?
• Expliquer un texte de Kant sur l'éthique et la loi morale

Série S (scientifique), coefficient 3
• Etre libre, est-ce ne rencontrer aucun obstacle?
• La sensibilité aux œuvres d'art demande-t-elle à être éduquée ?
• Expliquer un texte de Malebranche sur la recherche personnelle de la vérité


So. Did you pass?

Is this a bachelor's degree exam? I have lost so much French, it's really sad.

I think that with the exception of Malebranche and the first question under économique, which I just didn't understand, we (me and the other phil. undergrads at UVic) covered those pretty thoroughly in first and second year. That's not to say I've thought a whole lot about some of them since then though

I wish there was some philosophy offered in high school in North America.
