Philosophy - Post Mains 2019 review & discussion

@utkarsh_mishraagreed

@Dipwhat were your scores in philosophy in 2017 and 18?

@utkarsh_mishra270s in both.
In paper 2, 132, 127.
Paper 1 in 140s. Had more in 2017.
How was yours??

@Dipokay.. i too had similar in 2017.. 140+133
didnt clear pre in 2018.

e) State and evaluate the profs for the existence of God as propounded in Jainism- iska kya likha bhai log = god is equated to tirthinkaras right? but cannot be god in true sense of creater, destrroyer and preserver.. only an kaivlya jana who paves the path for liberation through his teachings.. i wrote on these lines

also most of the people in paper 2 found which section as doable, religion ya socio?

@rahul21-in1641 wrote on similar lines.

I found paper 1 easy and direct. I attempted Western philosophy - Q2 (LP, Aristotle, Spinoza's statement) and Q4 (Kant's S&T, hume and sartre)
Indian (Question 8).

Though I agree Indian was on tougher side but these questions (2 and 4 were easier and 8th was a bit analytical).

Paper II - I went for SPP Q2 (rights, multiC, tech dev) and Q4 (Ambedkar Gandhi secularism, Liberty and capital punishment), I found all of the SPP highly analytical and definite.

POR Q6 (Religious symb, Evil and Possiblity of Religion), I am not sure about this section. It seemed unconventional and tough and knowledge based to me. I guess more specific knowledge is demanded here.

What are your views on this??

And have you guys gave representation?
I did for paper II (Philosophy). Please give the representations as every other optionals are making it.
Write that paper was lengthy and highly subjective or ventured the unconventional domain.

Socio was more doable.

Yaar I wrote that concept of God is debatable in Jainas but they do accept the transcendental entities like Tirthankars, Ananth Chatushtya, Siddhashila etc. Proofs ke naam pe I gave their theory of Atomism that they use to explain the creation, relative knowledge implies all knowledgeable tirthankararas etc.

I hope they evaluate leniently..otherwise paper 2 is difficult to score marks.

Paper will be liniently evaluated if we make a representation. Ofcourse there is no surety but there's no harm in making a representation.

@rahul21-in1641 2 from Indian and 2 from religion.

Does any institute conduct thorough analysis of philosophy papers??

@ajiteshmishra579160vvrias does. They will come up with analysis in approx 1 week (called up their office)

hallucination and intentionality ko kaise tackle kara ?

@rahul21-in1641 Hallucination is an intentional act

@Dip@utkarsh_mishraDid your actual scores differ in comparison to what you expected after writing the mains (in your previous attempts)?

Asking because this was my first mains so have no idea what to expect. Have attempted all 250 marks in both the papers but have written sub standard answers for around 30-40 marks in both. (But have written satisfactory answers for the rest of questions as per my own analysis). Also, was getting around 110-120 in Mitra's mocks in both papers.

consider critically, gender discrimination is rather a man concept but not naturally endowed ? How did you all considered this "critically" I just in favour of the statement with argument like what we have from nature is difference between sex but gender discrimination is man made concept....
