In this seminar, students will explore various methods for bringing philosophy into K-12 classrooms. The seminar will focus on ways in which to establish philosophical "communities of inquiry" in classrooms, and students will develop a deeper understanding of philosophical dialogue. The emphasis will be on learning by doing. We will form our own community of inquiry in the seminar, and will discuss such philosophical questions as: When do we know something? What is the self? What is friendship? What is the mind?
