Description
Class Experience
Philosophy is the study of ideas, and it is a discipline ripe for pop culture reference and examination. Whether it is discussing how SpongeBob and Squidward are existentialists in search of absurdism or how Spongbob Squarepants explains Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, philosophers engaged in all sorts of disciplines are continuously exploring how media and art reflect questions of self and society. In this one 55 minute class, students will discuss philosophy of SpongeBob Squarepants with...

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
class discussion Optional mindmap at end
55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
These discussions will revolve around secular, philosophical constructs during which any discussions around world religions will be carefully monitored but not halted, provided they are conducted in a respectful way. Young children’s experience is already replete with philosophical questioning and meaning. They have strong, even visceral, intuitions of what is beautiful and ugly, fair and unfair, right and wrong. They enjoy playing with language and are intrigued by logical puzzles. Children are full of questions – and, significantly, many of their questions have philosophical content. And, in the class, the bigger questions – what it means to be alive, how to be good, what is the purpose of human life – are given the appropriate space to be debated and discussed.
