| Synopsis: |
A veritable emporium of philosophical puzzles and challenges to develop thinking in and out of the classroom. Imagine a one-stop shop stacked to the rafters with everything you could ever want, to enable you to tap into young people's natural curiosity and get them thinking deeply. Well, this is it! Edited by philosophy in schools expert, Peter Worley and with contributions from philosophers from around the world, The Philosophy Shop is jam-packed with ideas to get anyone thinking philosophically from children, young people to adults. For use in the classroom, at after school clubs, in philosophy departments and philosophy groups or even for the lone reader, this book will appeal to anyone who likes to think. Take it on journeys and dip in; use it as a classroom starter activity, or for a full philosophical enquiry - it could even be used to steer pub, dinner party or family discussions away from the same old topics. The proceeds of the book are going towards The Philosophy Foundation, a charity bringing philosophy to schools and communities.Contributors include:Harry Adamson, Peter Adamson, Alfred Archer, Saray Ayala, Grant Bartley, David Birch, Peter Cave,Miriam Cohen Christofidis, Philip Cowell, James Davy,Andrew Day, Georgina Donati, Claire Field, Berys Gaut ,Morag Gaut, Philip Gaydon, Nolen Gertz, A.C.
