This course will be divided into two main parts. The first will focus on methodology, teaching students how to write essays and text commentaries. The second will involve mastering the canonical authors of philosophy (Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, Hegel, etc.). These two parts serve two purposes: first, academic success in high school, with a view to university applications; and second, validation of the philosophy subject for the baccalaureate exam.
