Recenzii

One of the most challenging things about teaching introductory courses in philosophy is that our memory of our own experience as a student is often the worst guide to teaching. The Philosophy Skills Book understands what philosophy looks like for a typical intro student rather than for the student who will end up in graduate school. It isolates the most basic questions -- how to read a text, what do these words mean that the teacher thinks we know -- and explains them in a way that students can understand. It is a great resource for both students and professors.
The Philosophy Skills Book is a unique book.It recognizes that philosophy is not just a body of knowledge but also a set of skills, and since skills take practice to develop, the book presents the student with a wealth of hands-on exercises that hone these skills. Students who do these exercises will be better thinkers on account of them. Teachers of philosophy will also find the book to be a valuable tool for enhancing their classes and improving their learning outcomes.
