Try these sample questions to review concepts for the MV Abitur Philosophy exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1According to the MV Qualifikationsphase Rahmenplan Philosophie, what conceptual distinction is required when studying Glück?
A.Economic utility versus market price
B.Only hedonic pleasure versus pain with no further distinctions
C.Religious salvation versus political citizenship exclusively
D.Chance luck versus Glück as a flourishing/succeeding life (gelingendes Leben)
Explanation: The Rahmenplan’s Glück unit requires begriffliche Arbeit distinguishing zufälliges Glück from Glück as gelingendes Leben, plus instrumental versus immanent happiness.

A.Grammatical mood in German
B.Aesthetic taste judgments
C.Immanentes Glück (happiness valued as an end in the activity itself)
D.Only metaphysical necessity
Explanation: The Rahmenplan pairs instrumentelles Glück with immanentes Glück: happiness treated as a means versus happiness inherent in the activity or life-form itself.
3Aristotle’s account of eudaimonia, often used for the Glück Schwerpunkt, primarily treats flourishing as:
A.A momentary spike of sensory pleasure
B.Obedience to a sovereign’s positive law alone
C.Purely accidental good fortune independent of character
D.Activity of the soul in accordance with virtue over a complete life
Explanation: In the Nicomachean Ethics, eudaimonia is an activity of the soul in accordance with excellence (virtue) across a complete life—not a fleeting sensation or mere luck.

A.Only Sprachphilosophie and Aesthetics
B.Only Naturwissenschaften and Technik
C.Freiheit and Glück
D.Only medieval Scholasticism and alchemy

B.Freedom of the press versus academic tenure exclusively

Explanation: The Rahmenplan requires distinguishing Handlungsfreiheit (freedom of action) from Willensfreiheit (freedom of the will), and also treats freedom as human/basic right.
6Kant’s practical philosophy, central for Freiheit debates, locates moral worth primarily in:
A.Maximizing aggregate pleasure for the greatest number
B.Acting only when emotion is strongest
C.Following custom because it is traditional
D.Acting from duty according to a maxim that can be willed as universal law
Explanation: Kant ties autonomy and moral worth to acting from duty under the categorical imperative—maxims formable as universal law—not to hedonic aggregates or mere custom.
7John Stuart Mill’s On Liberty, listed among Rahmenplan Freiheit concepts, defends liberty primarily via:
A.A denial that individuality has any social value
B.A claim that the state may suppress any unpopular opinion
C.A harm principle limiting interference to prevent harm to others
D.A requirement that only aristocrats may speak publicly
Explanation: Mill’s harm principle holds that power may be exercised over individuals against their will only to prevent harm to others—protecting individuality and free expression.
8Hans Jonas, named in the Rahmenplan’s Verantwortung work, is especially associated with:
A.A denial that future generations matter ethically
B.A reduction of ethics to market equilibrium prices
C.An ethics of responsibility oriented to the future effects of technological power on humanity and nature
D.A purely emotivist rejection of all norms
Explanation: Jonas’s responsibility ethics responds to modern technology’s long-range power, urging care for humanity’s and nature’s future—not emotivism or market reduction.
9Why does the Rahmenplan connect the Libet experiment to Verantwortung debates?
A.It critically challenges whether ethics of responsibility presupposes a traditional picture of free will
B.It shows that only animals have free will
C.It proves that moral language is meaningless
D.It replaces all ethics with neuroscience exams
Explanation: The Rahmenplan calls for kritische Auseinandersetzung with how responsibility ethics depends on freedom assumptions, using Libet-type findings as a challenge—not as a total replacement of ethics.
10Friedrich Nietzsche, listed among vertiefende positions for Freiheit/Verantwortung, typically criticizes traditional morality as:
A.Identical to utilitarian calculus of pleasure
B.A purely logical theorem with no cultural history
C.Life-denying ‘slave morality’ that may invert strength into guilt and resentment
D.The only universally valid categorical imperative
Explanation: Nietzsche genealogically critiques Christian/modern moral valuations as potentially life-denying and rooted in resentment—not as Kantian universality or mere utilitarianism.

2Master both 2026 Schwerpunkte (Ethik: Freiheit/Glück; Anthropologie); you must still be able to draw on Erkenntnistheorie and Geschichte und Gesellschaft when texts demand them.
3For Freiheit, drill Handlungs- vs Willensfreiheit, Kantian autonomy, Mill’s liberty, and responsibility debates including Jonas and Libet-type challenges.
4For Glück, contrast zufälliges Glück with gelingendes Leben (eudaimonia) and instrumental vs immanent happiness using Aristotle and later critics.
5For Anthropologie, map competing Menschenbilder (nature/culture, Homo faber, personhood, dignity) and link them to ethical/political claims.
6For Erkenntnistheorie, contrast empiricism/rationalism, skepticism, and constructivist challenges to knowledge claims.
7Drill EPA operators (Problemerfassung, Problembearbeitung, Problemverortung) with Anforderungsbereiche I–III.
8On exam day, verify completeness of Blätter/Anlagen and mark which Aufgabenblock you wrote on the Reinschrift.
