PROVOCATIONS: PHILOSOPHY FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL
Book ID/图书代码： 03480514B69096
English Summary/英文概要： ’This book is a superb provocation to philosophy itself ... It should be in every schoolroom, and every teacher s hands, as an instrument that will transform students interest and capacity across the whole range not just of their studies but their lives.’
From the Foreword by A. C. Grayling
Are human beings flawed?
Is murder an act of insanity or just plain thoughtlessness?
Do we need a soul?
From the fall of Icarus to the rise of Caesar, this practical book draws upon history, philosophy, literature and the world today to provoke students to think, question and wonder. It raises questions on the nature of evil, the power of science, belief in God, consumerism, utopia, the limits of freedom and a whole lot more. Divided into chapters on World, Self, Society and Others, this resource is written to give teachers the means to listen rather than teach, to allow the thoughts and ideas of students to form the heart of the lesson.
’Provocations’ is a set of philosophy sessions designed for secondary school and predicated on the pedagogical methods of The Philosophy Foundation. These sessions are mature and challenging, exploring, amongst other things, Wagner and desire, Shakespeare and madness, Joan of Arc and gender, Faust and temptation, Nostradamus and time. They span the curriculum and provide an opportunity for teachers across a range of subjects to introduce a philosophical approach to their lessons. There are tips and suggestions throughout on how to use the book in the classroom. There is an extensive reading list for those who wish to explore the topics in greater depth, as well as an introduction to basic logic and guidelines to help students write their own sessions.

’In the best tradition of the Socratic gadfly, David Birch challenges many current practices and assumptions in education, and provides an imaginative resource for stimulating debate, critical reflection and creative thinking on a wide and engaging range of topics. His emphasis on the importance of listening as well as speaking, for the teacher as well as the student, is refreshing.’ --Dr Angie Hobbs, Professor of the Public Understanding of Philosophy, University of Sheffield
’Beautifully written, clearly presented and drawing from a wide and rich range of original sources, this is a superb resource for secondary school teachers keen to encourage independent, bold and creative thinking from their students (and perhaps give their own critical faculties a tickle, while they re at it).’ --Helen Mulley, editor, Teach Secondary magazine
