The Examined Life In this book, the follow-up to the best-selling Philosophy for Kids, Dr. David White delves deeper into the philosophical questions kids (and adults) care about. Through vibrant discussions and debate, your students will grapple with age-old questions about the nature of friendship (Aristotle), time (Augustine), knowledge (Plato), existence of God (Aquinas), perception (Berkeley), freedom and society (Rousseau), and many more. The book is divided into three sections: Part 1 presents primary source readings that will encourage discussion and debate, Part 2 offers easy-to-use activities that focus on the direct application of philosophy, and Part 3 offers a unique perspective just for teachers—a philosophical look at how teachers can become more reflective philosophers themselves.

Take a Stand! Take a Stand! helps teens develop critical thinking skills by examining debates on issues directly relevant to their lives (that you won’t find in most classroom materials). High school students will be encouraged to develop their own positions while learning to appreciate other perspectives on topics relating to electronics, sex, mental health, and relationships. Each chapter presents a question for debate, such as “Should kids choose their own religion?” and “Is it possible to love more than one person?” and shows how each issue might arise in an ordinary teen conversation. Two or more opposed answers are then presented and explored in detail. GRADES 9–12 • 978-1-64632-069-1 • $29.95 • PAPERBACK, 152 PAGES, 8½" x 11"
