The goal is to explain the author's thinking, always with arguments developed thanks to the candidate's knowledge.

Despite the reform of the baccalaureate, the philosophy test has kept its traditional formula. Candidates therefore have four hours to complete their papers during the written philosophy exam. Three subjects are offered: two dissertations and one relating to a study of a text. Candidates who opt for an essay only have a simple question as their subject. to which they must respond with a detailed argument. and justified through personal philosophical references and knowledge. For the study of text, candidates must account for the meaning and philosophical significance of a text signed by the author. by an author present in the philosophy program. Beware of the biggest pitfall of this exercise, considered by some as simpler than the dissertation: paraphrasing the text will not be enough to pass the test.
