Developing Philosophy Curricula With an Eye Towards Personal Growth

View Poster

The aim of this project was to create a high school philosophy mini-course that could foster academic benefits – such as improved critical thinking and argumentation skills – as well as personal benefits – such as insight into how we can live more peaceful, happy, and flourishing lives.

Hi David, the link to the course in google drive on your poster appears to be broken. I would love to see the course - I find this topic really interesting. Do you have any plans for publishing this course/circulating it, and/or using it in a classroom someday? This is exciting work!

Hello Hillel -- Itis good to see your project live.  I'm sorry I could not make it to the live presentation.

all best wishes,

Susan Meyer

Hi David!

I really enjoyed your presentation and particularly liked how you used your video to walk us through the curriculum. 

I was just wondering if you had any future plans for this project? Are you hoping to have the curriculum implemented in a certain high school? Are there any plans to test it out?

Thanks for a great read.
