Philosophy for Teens: Questioning Life's Big Ideas

Today there is so much exhortation and discussion for teaching critical thinking in secondary schools, and in reality this is voicing a call for philosophy in high school. Here is an approachable book that leads students into the company of philosophers, where they can openly converse about the major issues that influence their lives on a daily basis.Wonderful cover, I agree. Plato and Aristotle conversing in Raphael's School of Athens in the Vatican, an image the students will recall from their history classes. If the camera were to shift to the left, standing just outside the frame is Socrates in profile.Erick Wilberdingauthor, Teach like Socrates

2nd time I buy this book! I lost the first one and it has really good questions along with philosophers point of view. It has activities and essential questions. Great for teaching Humanities, English, Philosophy. Questions like What is Love, What is Truth? If you are a high school teacher you'll love this

I have used this book as a jumping off point for weeks of after school teen discussion. The short real life anecdotes are fun to role play and the explanations and follow up questions have spurred a lot fo great dialogue with my teen groups.

Students will love this book with all of its timeless issues for debate. I received my copy quickly and it was in excellent condition and ready for me to use with my students. Thank you!

This is above the grade level I'll be working with.

Especially the tile & cover sucks teens in. Excellent content & selection of topics to match, ones that are basic but important to teens.

I wish this book included some excerpts from actual philosopher in order to ground the conversations.

Nice work, Thank you

No real understanding of "teens" in this book. Written for 18+ not accessible for younger teens.

It would be good for teenagers who want to study general philosophy theory.

Ok

Would've liked more interactivity. age appropiate though.

Great book. Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn philosophy, teens or adults.
