We are aiming to bring the collegial and supportive culture of the AAPT to the APA; highlight teaching within the context of an APA meeting; stretch beyond the traditional APA session format to offer sessions that model active learning; and attract a broader range of philosophers to the divisional meetings. The conference will include an AAPT workshop; a poster session; one-on- one consultations with expert teachers; and panels on inclusive teaching, teacher training, pre- college teaching, textbook work, and ways we might communicate the value of teaching philosophy to relevant stakeholders. Refreshments will be served at several of the sessions. THURSDAY, JANUARY 5 M1 Panel Discussion: How to Implement Teacher Training in Philosophy: Best Practices 9:00 a.m.–Noon Chair: C. L.

  • Western Philosophy Rev
    Designed by John Cornet, Phoenix HS (Ore) Western Philosophy rev. September 2012 The very process of philosophy has been a driving force in the tranformation of the world. From the figure who dwells upon how to achieve power, to the minister who contemplates the paradox of the only truth (their faith) yet which is also stagnent, to the astronomers who are searching the stars for signs of other civilizations, to the revolutionaries who sought to construct a national government which would protect the rights of the minority, the very exercise of philosophy and philosophical thought is at a core of human nature. Philosophy addresses what are sometimes called the "big questions." These include questions of morality and ethics, ideology/faith,, politics, the truth of knowledge, the nature of reality, and the meaning of human existance (...just to name a few!) (Religion addresses some of the same questions, but while philosophy and religion overlap in some questions, they can and do differ significantly in the approach they take to answering them.)

  • May 12, 2017 Department of Philosophy Undergraduate Course Descriptions
    UB Spring Session January 30 - May 12, 2017 Department of Philosophy Undergraduate Course Descriptions PHI 101 Introduction to Philosophy K. Cho M, W, F, 9:00 AM-9:50 AM Class # 24095 This is an introductory philosophy course with a compact and yet global design. Instead of the frequently adopted but seldom fully utilized textbooks averaging 630 pates we have chosen a text with only 130 ages but packed with content that is literally “Global”. Text: John Dewey, Confucius and Global Philosophy, by Joseph Grange, 2004, SUNY Press; Plus Occasional Handouts in class. The choice of the two names Dewey and Confucius is more symbolic. Nobody would think these two embody the Western half and The Eastern half of the world; philosophy it is rather in terms of “working connections” they reveal to each other that we perceive them as representatives of our age it its needs. Dewey was certainly a typical American philosopher, who like no one else. Advanced the cause of Pragmatism. But he was also the American philosopher who was the most open to the world. He lectured in Beijing and promoted talented Chinese scholars who came to seek his guidance. And who remembers today that Dewey was thoroughly at home in Kant’s, Kant's Critique and was a skilled Hegelian dialectician? “Breathing is an affair as much as it is an affair of the air”. Or “Walking is an affair of legs as much as it is an affair of the earth.” In these simple words, Dewy translated the speculative language of German Idealism and made philosophy an affair of living.

  • HURON UNIVERSITY COLLEGE Philosophy 2202G: Early Modern Philosophy 2017-2018
    HURON UNIVERSITY COLLEGE Philosophy 2202G: Early Modern Philosophy 2017-2018 Winter Term, 2018 Instructor: Dr. Steve Bland Prerequisites: none Office: A304 Tuesdays, 10:30-12:30pm, V207 Office hours: Thursdays, 12:30-2:30pm Thursdays, 11:30-12:30pm, V207 Email: [email protected] The Early Modern period (ca. 1600-1800) was one of the most fruitful and exciting eras in the history of philosophy and science. New methods of inquiry and theories of the universe and the mind marked a radical shift away from medieval philosophy and towards a novel philosophical landscape of ideas. This course will provide an introductory survey of the philosophical theories of some of the most well known and influential thinkers of the Early Modern age, including: Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley, and Hume. In reading and discussing some of the classic primary works of these philosophers, we will become engaged in the following topics: scepticism, the nature of reality and the mind, the existence of god, free will, and personal identity. More generally, this course will focus on the crucially important rationalism- empiricism debate, which concerned not only the source of knowledge, but the proper method of answering philosophical questions. In other words, we will canvass Early Modern philosophical theories in an effort to answer the question: how should philosophy be done? COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES On successful completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Clearly formulate and explain the central philosophical theories discussed in this course. 2. Reformulate complex arguments found within primary sources. 3. Defend a plausible position on the question of the origins of philosophical knowledge.

Dmitry rated it really liked it Jan 09, It includes study questions for each chapter, an updated bibliography, a new section on the Yijing and expanded discussion of Indian philosophies and their basis in experience. Exploring familiar metaphysical and ethical questions from the perspectives of different Eastern philosophies, including Confucianism, Daoism, and strands of Buddhism and Hinduism, this book covers key figures, issues, methods and concepts. Nash Eleena added it May 26, Rebel Ideas. It also touches on how India came into contact with China, and how Buddhism was integrated into Chinese culture, merging with the then official doctrine of Daoism. This lays the metaphysical ground for views of the self and spirituality, which is perhaps the most known in the West. All of this is quite metaphysical in nature. While there are most certain patterns across different philosophies that aggregate into a specific culture and its neighbors, it nevertheless has countless branches and quite often is not a mere deviation, but they actually oppose each other.
