Eduqas year 2 Ethics Theme 4 - Predestination

(0)
Visiting PhD student provided our dept with this! (hence the excellent footnotes). What is ‘predestination’? What Biblical support is there for the doctrine? What are the implications for moral responsibility? What did Augustine, Pelagius, Calvin, Arminus, Edwards and John Wesley have to say? This was the handout to his talk. Questions included at the end.

AQA Philosophy of Mind: Dualist Theories

(1)
Two powerpoints here covering mind - body interaction and the conceivability argument for substance dualism. Similar in style to my other resources available in TES. Nothing too fancy, but I did try to stick really closely to the spec. ‘Handout’ refers to the Routledge handouts available here https://routledgetextbooks.com/textbooks/9781138690394/additional-resources.php

AQA Philosophy of Mind, issues with dualism

(0)
Two powerpoints here, one on issues with dualism (covering the issue of other minds) and one general on the strengths and weaknesses of substance dualism. The first is purely for AQA Philosophy, but the second I also found useful teaching A Level RS (Edexcel) for Life after Death (dualism/materialism).

Nature of God OCR A2: God's attributes according to Anselm in the Proslogion

(0)
I have turned some of the work of Rev. Dr Thomas Williams' entry on Anselm in the SEP into a handout. Focusses on how Anselm develops his discussions of God's impassibility, timelessness and simplicity, from his several statements of the ontological argument in Proslogion 2 and 3. Actually not as complex as it sounds! Full article found at http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/anselm/
