The final ones pass the sacrosanct philosophy test of the baccalaureate 2022, this Wednesday, under a scorching heat. But even if it no longer opens the ball, the dreaded test remains an important step and the pet peeve of graduates. Since the beginning of the week, predictions have been going well to find out which subjects “will fall”. Well thanks to our partnership with Studyramawe are able to provide you with the subjects (two dissertations and a text commentary) and the corrected answers for the general baccalaureate philosophy test on which the 523,199 senior high school students of general and technological high schools are currently working.
The subjects of the general philosophy baccalaureate 2022
For the general baccalaureate, the students had the choice between these two dissertation subjects: “Do artistic practices transform the world? and “Is it up to the state to decide what is fair?” “.
The text explanation topic was about theEssay on the foundations of our knowledge and on the characteristics of philosophical criticism of Cournot: “For an observation to be qualified as scientific, it must be capable of being made and repeated in circumstances which involve an exact definition, so that at each repetition of the same circumstances one can always note the identity of the results, at least within the limits of the error which inevitably affects our empirical determinations. It is necessary, moreover, that, in the circumstances defined, and between the limits of error which have just been indicated, the results are independent of the constitution of the observer; or that, if there are exceptions, they are due to an anomaly of constitution, which manifestly renders such an individual unfit for such a kind of observation, without shaking our confidence in the constancy and in the intrinsic truth of the observed fact. »
The subjects of the 2022 technological baccalaureate in philosophy
Candidates for the techno baccalaureate had to choose between these subjects: “Does freedom consist in not obeying anyone? or “Is it right to defend your rights by all means?” “.
As well as a text explanation on an extract from The encyclopedia from Diderot:
“If I could assure myself that a witness saw well, and that he wanted to tell me the truth, his testimony for me would become infallible: it is only in proportion to the degrees of this double assurance that my persuasion increases. ; it will never rise to a full demonstration, as long as the testimony is unique, and I consider the witness in particular; because whatever knowledge I have of the human heart, I will never know it perfectly enough to guess its various caprices, and all the mysterious springs which make it move. But what I would look for in vain in a testimony, I find it in the concurrence of several testimonies, because humanity is painted there; I can, in consequence of the laws that minds follow, affirm that the single truth has been able to bring together so many people, whose interests are so diverse, and whose passions are so opposed. Error has different forms, according to the frame of mind of men, according to the prejudices of religion and education in which they are nourished: if then I see them, in spite of this prodigious variety of prejudices which differentiate nations so strongly, unite in the deposition of the same fact, I must in no way doubt its reality. The more you prove to me that the passions which govern men are bizarre, capricious, and unreasonable, the more eloquent you will be in exaggerating for me the multiplicity of errors which so many different prejudices give rise to; and the more you will confirm to me, to your great astonishment, in the persuasion in which I am, that only the truth can make so many men of an opposite character speak in the same way. »
The great oral
Philosophy represents a coefficient of 4 for candidates for the technological baccalaureate and a coefficient of 8 for candidates for the general baccalaureate (out of a total of 100). The marks of the tests which are held in June (philosophy and great oral) will not be taken into account in the platform for access to higher education Parcoursup, which has been delivering its answers to the wishes of candidates since the beginning of June. But they are taken into account in the average of the baccalaureate, sesame necessary for those who want to continue their studies.
Yes, since the baccalaureate reform in 2019, the baccalaureate mark is based 40% on continuous assessment and 60% on final tests (written and oral French, passed in Première class, philosophy, specialties and the major oral, taken in Terminale). After the philosophy, the high school students will take the oral test, between June 20 and July 1.
The results of the baccalaureate will be published on July 5.
