This book addresses the complex issues involved in teaching
philosophy at undergraduate level. In the current academic climate,
teaching is often seen as secondary to research. "Teaching
Philosophy" seeks to bring teaching philosophy higher on the
academic agenda. An international team of contributors, all of whom
share the view that philosophy is a subject that can transform
students, offers practical guidance and advice for teachers of
philosophy.The book suggests ways in which the teaching of
philosophy at undergraduate level might be facilitated. Some of the
essays place the emphasis on individual self discovery, others
focus on the wider political context, many offer practical ideas
for enhancing the teaching of philosophy through exercises that
engage students in often unconventional ways. The integration of
students' views on teaching provides a necessary reminder that
teaching is not a one-way process, but a project that will
ultimately succeed through cooperation and a shared sense of
achievement amongst participants.This thoughtful and important book
emphasises the responsibility of the philosophy teacher towards his
or her students and to society in general.
