Resistance, Rebellion, and Reason: An Anthology of Ancient
Philosophy brings together writings from both ancient and modern
political thinkers whose activism laid the foundation for our
political and social understanding of justice. The volume
emphasizes the ideas of the Greeks and demonstrates their
timeliness and application in words from authors including Kant,
Tolstoy, Martin Luther King, Jr., and other historically relevant
dissenters. Embedded in each writing is a strong sense of empathy,
compassion, and a desire to imprint upon the next generation the
important ideas of political and social justice. The writings
encourage students to develop critical thought, challenge their own
beliefs and ideas, and draw connections between the past and the
present. The anthology features four units that cover the
investigation of classic philosophical thought, ethical leadership,
living the good life, and political excellence. Students read
selections from Thomas Cahill, Plato, Aristotle, Sophocles, Cicero,
and others. Throughout, the readings are framed by introductions,
philosopher biographies, post-reading questions, and reflection
prompts to provide context and inspire discussion. Resistance,
Rebellion, and Reason encourages readers to draw upon the wisdom of
the past to better understand the present and shape the future. The
anthology is ideal for courses in philosophy, politics, social
justice, and psychology.
