This lesson is an excellent way to inspire a love of philosophy; we’ve carefully selected the most bizarre and thought-provoking concepts so that young learners can engage in fun, mind-bending discussions and debates. This session explores topics such as:
-
The nature of reality
-
Alternate realities and thought experiments
-
The limits of logic and reason
The big question posed in this session is “What is the strangest idea in philosophy?” Using a variety of engaging activities, students will discuss and debate a wide range of peculiar philosophical questions such as:
-
Is it possible that the entire universe is a simulation?
-
Can time flow backwards, or is time travel conceivable?
-
Do parallel universes exist, and can we interact with them?
Since the focus of this session is ‘the weirdest stuff in philosophy’, we’ve aimed to provide a comprehensive range of unusual and intriguing questions so that students understand the vastness and diversity of philosophical inquiry. Students will also analyse and evaluate an eclectic mix of extraordinary philosophical claims such as:
-
“Objects continue to exist only when we perceive them.”
-
“Every decision creates a new universe where each possible outcome occurs.”
-
“There is no objective reality; everything is a construct of the mind.”
This session uses our unique format for philosophy teaching resources and features an integrated menu that allows teachers to select from a variety of starter, main, plenary, assessment, and end-of-lesson reflection activities. With a massive selection of tasks designed to trigger philosophical discussions, debates, and reflections, you can re-use the resource numerous times with the same group.
Suitable for students aged 8–16, the flexible design of the session allows it to be used for multiple hour-long sessions or as a short, stimulating tutor-group activity.
The file is a non-editable PowerPoint Show: no planning or preparation is required. Simply run the file, and the intuitive menu system will make delivering a powerful philosophy session effortless.
