Examined Life

<p>In this book the follow-up to the best-selling<i>Philosophy for Kids</i> Dr. David White delves deeper into the philosophical questions kids (and adults) care about deeply. Through vibrant discussions and debate the book offers ways teachers can help students grapple with age-old questions about the nature of friendship (Aristotle) time (Augustine) knowledge (Plato) existence of God (Aquinas) perception (Berkeley) freedom and society (Rousseau) and many more.<br><br>The book is divided into three sections. Part 1 presents primary source readings that will encourage discussion and debate; Part 2 offers easy-to-use activities that focus on the direct application of philosophy to areas such as critical thinking language and the arts; and Part 3 offers a unique perspective just for teachers—a philosophical look at how teachers can become more reflective philosophers themselves. This is an excellent teachers' handbook for using advanced philosophy in the classroom.<br><br>Grades 7-12</p>
