A visual teaching, learning and revision companion for A Level Philosophy, Religious Studies, IB Philosophy and introductory undergraduate Ethics. Visualising Utilitarianism This resource has been developed to support the teaching and study of Utilitarianism through conceptual visualisation, structured explanation and carefully sequenced slide builds. Designed for teachers, students and tutors, the resource aims to help learners move beyond memorisation towards genuine philosophical understanding. Rather than relying primarily on philosopher biographies, stock imagery and bullet-point summaries, the resource uses visual models, explanatory frameworks and conceptual mapping to help students understand: • what utilitarian theories claim • why they make those claims • how moral decisions are justified • how different forms of utilitarianism compare • how philosophical evaluation can be developed The resource is intended to complement teaching, textbooks, primary-source reading and independent study rather than replace them.
