Sample FDSE Concours d'Admission Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the FDSE Concours d'Admission exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 40+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A student proposes a rule: "I may make a false promise whenever it benefits me." Under Kant's universal-law formulation, what is the central objection?

A.The rule produces less happiness than every available alternative

B.Universalizing the rule would undermine the practice of promising on which the rule depends

C.The rule is wrong only if positive law expressly prohibits it

D.The rule gives too much weight to community traditions

Explanation: Kant asks whether the maxim of an action could coherently be willed as a universal law. If false promising were universal, assurance-giving would lose credibility, defeating the maxim's own means.

2For Rousseau, which description best captures the general will?

A.The sum of every citizen's private preference

B.The command of whichever faction has the most members

C.The ruler's personal judgment about public order

D.A collective orientation toward the common good rather than private interests

Explanation: Rousseau distinguishes the general will from an aggregate of private desires. Its object is the common interest of the political community.

3Which claim is most characteristic of a natural-law theory?

A.Legal rules can be evaluated by moral principles that are not created merely by official enactment

B.A rule is legally valid only when every citizen believes it is just

C.Courts should replace enacted law with whatever outcome benefits the majority

D.Moral disagreement proves that no legal rule can be valid

Explanation: Natural-law traditions connect the evaluation of law with standards of reason or morality beyond enactment alone. They do not require unanimous approval of each rule or authorize judges to disregard all enacted law.

4What question would a legal positivist ordinarily separate from the question whether a rule is morally good?

A.Whether the rule makes every affected person happy

B.Whether the rule agrees with a timeless moral order

C.Whether the rule is legally valid under the recognized sources and procedures of the legal system

D.Whether the rule has ever been criticized by a judge

Explanation: Legal positivism analytically distinguishes a rule's legal validity from its moral merit. A rule may meet a system's source-based criteria and still be seriously unjust.

5In Aristotle's ethics, a virtue such as courage is best understood as what?

A.The mathematical midpoint between two identical actions

B.A reasoned mean relative to the person between excess and deficiency

C.Obedience to any rule issued by political authority

D.A feeling that arises naturally without practice or choice

Explanation: Aristotle presents moral virtue as a disposition to choose the mean relative to us, as reason determines it. Courage, for example, avoids both rash excess and cowardly deficiency.

6Which decision rule is most consistent with classical utilitarianism?

A.Choose the act required by tradition, regardless of its consequences

B.Choose the act that protects only the decision-maker's interests

C.Choose the act whose maxim could be universalized without contradiction

D.Choose the act expected to produce the greatest net well-being for all affected

Explanation: Classical utilitarianism assesses actions by their consequences for overall well-being. Each affected person's welfare enters the calculation rather than only the agent's welfare.

7Which statement correctly distinguishes a valid deductive argument from a sound one?

A.A valid argument cannot have true premises and a false conclusion; a sound argument is valid and has true premises

B.A valid argument must persuade most listeners; a sound argument need not persuade anyone

C.A valid argument uses examples; a sound argument never uses examples

D.A valid argument has a true conclusion even when its reasoning is invalid

Explanation: Validity concerns the necessary connection between premises and conclusion. Soundness adds that the premises of a valid argument are in fact true.

8A government protects each person's life, liberty, and property but otherwise limits its interference. Which philosopher's political account most directly supports this arrangement?

A.Thomas Hobbes, because subjects retain an unlimited right to depose the sovereign at any time

B.Plato, because property rights are the only purpose of the ideal city

C.John Locke, because government is instituted to secure natural rights and depends on consent

D.Jean-Jacques Rousseau, because private property can never exist under a social contract

Explanation: Locke argues that political society is formed by consent to protect natural rights, including life, liberty, and property. Government that violates its trust may lose its legitimate authority.

9In Plato's Republic, justice in the city primarily consists in what arrangement?

A.Every citizen alternates between ruling, judging, and producing each year

B.Each class performs its proper function without usurping the functions of the others

C.The strongest class openly governs for its private advantage

D.All differences in education and occupation are abolished

Explanation: Plato associates civic justice with each part of the city doing its own work in a harmonious order. The political account parallels harmony among the parts of the individual soul.

10Consider: "All constitutional rules are legal norms. This provision is a constitutional rule. Therefore, this provision is a legal norm." What form does the argument have?

A.An appeal to popularity

B.An inductive generalization from one example

C.A circular argument that repeats its conclusion

D.A valid categorical syllogism

Explanation: The argument places the provision within a class wholly included in the class of legal norms. If both premises are true, the conclusion must be true.

FDSE Concours d'Admission: Suggested Study Strategy

1Use the official FDSE 300/200 point relationship to give philosophy more study time than the combined general-knowledge and French component.

2Review the UEH-published secondary philosophy themes: concepts and methods, knowledge and opinion, morality, law and politics, and deduction and induction.

3Read the cited Constitution itself for institutional questions rather than relying on current-office assumptions.

4For French practice, identify each connector's argumentative function before selecting an answer.
