Great year 7 #p4c discussion today. Started with ‘would you rather be a tortoise or a hare?’, ended with an #Omelas style scenario about collective vs. individual happiness.

Great discussion in today’s #PhilosophyPhriday - are we our brain or our body? We tried to ‘stay alive’ using a brilliant thought experiment from @microphilosophy .

[WHS RE & Philosophy @WHS_Philosophy]

Good to advertise A Level philosophy to year 11 today. Hoping a lot of you will join us for our first #PhilosophyPhriday thought experiment - this Friday lunchtime!

"Rules are like recipes. If you are an inexperienced cook, recipes are essential, but a good cook knows when and how to adapt."
- @PeterSinger ('How are we to live', 1993, p. 171)
