Philosophy For Teens: Ideas And Ideals
By Joseph A Grispino
Philosophy For Teens emphasizes logic (how to think critically) and
ethics (how to live responsibly). Never before has a high school
graduate needed these two tools more urgently.
Forty-five of the nation's governors addressed the high school
educational crisis at the first National Education Summit and demanded
drastic changes. Philosophy For Teens answers their demand because
what good is a barrel of knowledge without a thinking spigot?
This
textbook speaks in a conversational, non-technical style, in no need of
a teacher's manual. Of the 30 chapters, 15 discuss social issues,
two amplify on logic and ethics respectively.
The
author holds graduate degrees in philosophy, theology, biblical studies,
and education. Four of his books have been published. His 30-year
teaching career includes divinity schools, California State University
at Northridge, and Chapman University.
