In this one-time class, students will get an overview of the major political theories the great philosophers have devised throughout history, including liberalism, egalitarianism, libertarianism, and communitarianism, among others. The instructor will explain and contextualize the material in a brief and engaging way, using real-world examples and thought experiments to illustrate difficult concepts. Then we will have a guided Socratic-style student-led discussion. This format enables the students both to grasp the material enough to engage with it meaningfully, and to then actively relate to it on their own terms.
Metas de aprendizaje
Students will come away with a better understanding of history, thought, and culture.
Students will gain the opportunity to learn about and discuss difficult concepts with peers.

Orientación para padres
Please note that this course will explore a variety of potentially difficult topics, ideas, and events from divergent perspectives, both in the course material and in interactions with classmates. It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to determine if they wish their child to analyze and discuss this content. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have.

Maestría en Filosofía desde Northern Illinois University
Licenciatura en Filosofía desde Illinois Wesleyan University
I have a BA in Philosophy with minors in Political Science and Greek and Roman Studies, as well as an MA in Philosophy with a concentration in Ethics and Political Philosophy. I’m the head coach of a competitive high school debate team and teach the liberal arts at a classical school. I’m also a professional creative writer and journalist.
I love helping students of all ages understand and interpret difficult subjects and learn how to crystallize their thoughts in writing and oral communication. I believe studying philosophy is a wonderful way to facilitate this kind of growth and learning.
