Let's Think About... Peter Singer

a short video introduction:

Thought Experiments

Go here for the Thought Experiments. Have a play with some of them. Almost all are relevant to something in AS or A2. If you are currently an AS student, I want you to pay particular attention to Talking With God: The Euthyphro Dilemma - because we're going to be talking about that one. If you are currently an A2 student, I want you to pay particular attention to: Peter Singer and the Drowning Child. Finally, whoever you are, have a go at Staying Alive and note down whether you lived or died (and why)

Oxford Philosophy Lecture Videos - PHIL2

I came across some great videos on youtube which are actual lectures from Oxford University. They explain different concepts and philosophers clearly and should hopefully help with revision. Have a good look at their Youtube Channel too where you'll be sure to find many more clips too.

Enjoy!
