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).

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

I designed these to help me assess my students mid - topic before I set them an essay. Intended to take about 40 mins each, the four tests (Utilitarianism, Situation Ethics, Natural Law 1 and Natural Law 2 (Finnis/Hoose) contain a mix of short and longer questions.

Powerpoint providing examples of corporate religious experience. From the ethereal chords of Mozart's Requiem to the base guitar and full rock band of megachurch Hillsong Australia, how does music influence religious experience? Finishes with an investigation into charismatic phenomena (signs and wonders, esp healing and glossolalia) and also a research task into the Toronto Blessing.

If Christians can eat prawns, why is gay sex wrong? Sexual ethics for OCR A2

(5)
Prawns? Lycra? Gay sex?Aren't the Old Testament's prohibitions against shellfish, mixed fibres and homosexuality indicative of an arbitrary and outdated morality? This lesson on homosexuality examines Biblical texts, discusses the meaning of the 'moral' and 'ceremonial' laws, introduces a Foucaultian persective on sexuality as power, and gives three personal stories - Rev Vaughan Roberts, Mark Cannon, and Vicky Beeching (shortlised for Stonewall's Hero of the Year award, 2014). Students encouraged to analyse the differing perspectives within one faith tradition and to finish with an essay plan on the role conscience plays in sexual matters.

Suitable for self - learning and progression into A level RS, a booklet with a two hour section on each of Philosophy of Religion, Religion (Christianity) and Ethics. All resources mentioned in the tasks are available for free, including the Ethics book. All the links work and each section directly relates to A level course of study (most suitable for Eduquas and Edexcel exam boards). With thanks to Nikki McGee on Save RE who inspired the format and task 2.
