➖ Why Study Philosophy?➖

Studying philosophy involves developing critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and reasoning skills. By analyzing sound reasoning and understanding logical arguments and fallacies students learn to discern truth from lies in social media posts, advertisements, news articles, and political speeches.

• Improve Communication: Philosophy hones your ability to express complex ideas and thoughts clearly and precisely.

➖ What To Expect ➖

Weekly Adventures with Harry Stottlemeir: We will explore a different situation each week using the book Harry Stottlemeir's Discovery by Matthew Lipman. (No purchase necessary-the teacher will utilize screen sharing to read the relevant sections in class). Each chapter will be a starting point for our engaging discussions.

Interactive and Learner Focused: Our discussions follow the students ideas and thoughts. The learners get to drive the conversation and explore what interests them the most.

Our Circle of Inquiry:

In our class, every idea is worth examining. This is a student-centered environment where the teacher does not impose their own ideas but instead facilitates the discussion. Learners thoughts will be shared in a non-judgemental space filled with trust and respect. This method empowers students, builds confidence, and encourages the sharing of ideas openly.

Small Class Size: Maximizing Engagement!

The number of philosophers in class is capped at 8. This small class size ensures that everyone has the opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas, creating a dynamic and interactive learning experience.

Class Preview:

Opening Moments: Introductions and thought-provoking questions: Can emotions like happiness and sadness coexist? Share a funny thought!

Exploring Ideas: Round Robin discussion where we unpack deep philosophical concepts together.

Closing: Wrap up with reflections and farewells, leaving with fresh perspectives and ideas to ponder.
