Teaching Philosophy by Steven Cahn

Teaching Philosophy by Steven Cahn

Teaching Philosophy assists teachers of undergraduates in offering effective instruction to their students.

"For decades, Steve Cahn's students and colleagues have gained enormously from his constructive advice about teaching philosophyThis book enables a far wider audience to learn from him. In its general suggestions about teaching, as well as in its specific insights into introducing particular philosophical topics, it distills the wisdom accumulated in a lifetime – a lifetime imbued with passion for philosophical ideas and for their broad dissemination."
-Philip Kitcher, John Dewey Professor of Philosophy, Columbia University

"Professor Cahn’s book is a valuable guide for teachers who want to have dedicated students. It concentrates especially on what students have a right to expect of a properly conceived, well-taught, and successfully administered course. More than that, it offers thoughtful insights into teaching such topics as reasoning, free will, philosophy of religion, ethics, and political philosophy. Even seasoned veterans of the classroom will find this book useful."

-William Mann, Professor Emeritus, University of Vermont

"Everything and everyone enters here, from Theocritus to Archie Bunker, from Plato to Thoreau, about ethics and reasoning and more. Philosophy appealing and unfrightening and learned enlivens the chapters of this reflection on how best to lead students into the thinking world."
Mary Ann Caws, Distinguished Professor Emerita of English, French, and Comparative Literature and Resident
