  • In this two-quarter seminar, students will explore various methods for introducing philosophy to K-12 students. The seminar will focus on ways in which to establish "communities of philosophical inquiry" in classrooms, and students will develop an understanding of how to inspire philosophical discussions. The emphasis is on learning by doing, and we will discuss such questions as: Why should I be moral? What is art? Do animals have rights? Students will facilitate in pairs philosophy sessions in local public schools..
