Offering a fresh take on the purpose of social studies today, James
A. Duplass positions philosophical counseling as a way for teachers
to engage students in thinking deeply about what it means to be a
citizen in a democratic society. The Idea of a Social Studies
Education takes a uniquely humanistic approach to the idea of a
social studies education to show how teachers can act as
philosophical counselors in preparing students for active civic
engagement. Duplass reminds the reader of the needs of students in
modern society who seek to develop an identity worth living and the
role social studies can play in students achieving that process. By
focusing on the cultivation of students' autonomy, authenticity,
efficacy, and agency, Duplass' approach avoids political biases and
instead encourages critical thinking to decipher what a democratic
ideology truly is.
