The difference in the practical approach to teaching philosophy can
mean the difference between an engaging class and an excruciating
one. In this expanded edition of In the Socratic Tradition (1997)
Kasachkoff adds new sections on teaching philosophy with computers,
teaching philosophical explanation, and teaching philosophy of
gender. Chapters in the collection share the pedagogical insights
of more than two dozen distinguished philosophers, offering
practical suggestions on such issues as how to motivate students,
construct syllabi and creative examinations for specific courses,
and teach complex philosophical concepts. Like its predecessor,
Teaching Philosophy will be an indispensable resource for teachers
of all levels and fields of philosophy, and will be particularly
helpful in lending inspiration to graduate students and professors
called upon to teach courses outside of their specialty areas.
Steven Cahn belongs to that exclusive class of professors who have
not only contributed influentially to the leading debates of their
discipline, but have also written insightfully about the academic
vocation itself. This volume comprises 13 essays, authored by
Cahn's colleagues and former students, presented in his honor on
the occasion of his 25th year as Professor of Philosophy at the
City University of New York. The chapters focus on topics that have
been central to Cahn's philosophical work, such as the teaching of
Philosophy, the responsibilities of Philosophy professors, the
nature of happiness, and the concept of the good life.

This practical guide for teaching philosophy brings together essays
by two dozen distinguished philosophers committed to pedagogy.
Addressing primarily practical issues, such as how to motivate
students, construct particular courses, and give educational exams,
the essays also touch on theoretical issues such as whether moral
edification is a proper goal of teaching ethics. An excellent
sourcebook for graduate students just learning to teach as well as
for professors searching for new strategies and inspiration or
called upon to teach courses outside of their specialties.
