Why Teach Philosophy in Schools?
The Case for Philosophy on the Curriculum
Jane Gatley, University of Birmingham, UK This book presents a case for teaching philosophy in schools centred around two original arguments for teaching philosophy to all students at some point over the course of their education Gatley argues that teaching philosophy is the best way to help students to think clearly using ordinary, or non-specialist concepts such as ‘good’, ‘truth’, or ‘happiness’.

James D. Kirylo, University of South Carolina, USA
James D. Kirylo gives a personal and reflective account of what it means to be a Catholic teacher, through ecumenical, interfaith, and interreligious dialogue, the Church’s social teachings, liberation theology and critical pedagogy in the light of faith It provides a critical guide for Catholic teachers to engage in reflective practice to discover teaching as a vocation in service of the poor, the marginalised and the oppressed Kirylo covers how faith should inform the practical matters of teaching and how these intersect with broader debates outside the classroom, including climate change, euthanasia, abortion, gay marriage, the death penalty, gun control, and animal rights
