The lesson is part of a series of lessons looking at Philosophical Thought Experiments. It has been used with Sixth Form students as part of an elective program to broaden their understanding of Philosophy (especially if they are not studying Philosophy for A Level). The aim to get students thinking in a philosophical way, asking and answering questions during class discussion. There are links to videos found on YouTube to support the learning and these can be found within the presentation. Some fascinating discussion and deep thinking should result!
This particular lesson focuses on What Mary Knew; it asks questions around knowledge, specifically that of colour vision and follows the argument from Frank Jackson that there is more to knowledge that just the physical fact (including Qualia). This forms part of the discussion of Philosophy of Mind.
