Welcome to the first module of the Philosophy for Real series! You are about to discover a whole new world through the eyes of those who changed history, gave birth to science and logic, and set the soaring standards for deep thinking that are the precursors to the field of philosophy. In this module you will learn the history and ideas of the "Big Three" lineage, namely Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, as well as those who set the stage for them in the generations preceding (known as the "Presocratics"). In this first part of "The Ancients," we will explore the ethics, metaphysics, and epistemology of these thinkers and in what ways they influence later history for us all. You will learn about the materialism and essentialism of the Presocratics, the virtue ethics of Socrates and his follows, and the metaphysical dimensions of the philosophical rock stars, Plato and his student Aristotle. -------------------------------------- MODULE OVERVIEW -------------------------------------- Module A - Ancient Philosophy: The Birth of Philosophy Day 1: The Presocratics on Natural Reasoning Day 2: Socrates and the Birth of Philosophy Day 3: Plato and the Metaphysics of Idealism Day 4: Aristotle and Virtue Ethics Classes in this series are structured as follows: + Do Now - 5 minutes + Share Outs - 10 minutes + Direct Instruction - 30 minutes + Short Break - 5 minutes + Socratic Circle - 20 minutes + Mastery Check - 10 minutes + Next Steps - 2 minutes Do Now (5): Students are given a couple of minutes to read over an excerpt and some of the questions that will be addressed in class (often the same as those in the handout) while other are arriving to class. Share Outs (10): Following a quick self-introduction of the instructor for the first of each new module, students are invited to share their preliminary thoughts on the subject at hand and the excerpt read during the Do Now. Direct Instruction (30): The instructor provides background of the philosopher(s) and their time period as well as details of their philosophical ideas and innovations. Socratic Circle (20): Students and the instructor participate in a dialogue-based conversation to address the questions prompted at the beginning of class as well as additional questions posed by students to the group or each other. Mastery Check (10): Students are prompted with multiple choice- and short answer-type questions that are meant to serve as a CFU (check for understanding) in addition to solidifying key terms and content from class. Next Steps (2): Students are given an outline of what the topic of the following class will be and next steps to take in the meantime.

These classes are offered in the spirit of self-directed, interest-based learning of the student. In the interest of promoting creativity and critical thinking under optimal conditions, I highly recommend researching the philosophy of unschooling for further description of the sort of student who will best benefit from this content.
Also, there is occasionally subtle nudity depicted in the art pieces shown in the instruction slides of the philosophers. None of these are erotic in nature and are intended only to exhibit historical artistic expressions of the lives and time periods of the philosophers we discuss.

Mr. Kelsey is a professional math, philosophy, logic, and language tutor, writer, and lifelong-learning advocate. He holds a BA with Honors in Philosophy (with concentrations in Religious and Japanese Studies). He is certified through the Praxis II (5161) exam to teach high school mathematics (pre-algebra through calculus), but his range of subjects has included ACT/SAT test prep, college-level mathematics, science, logic, foreign languages, and philosophy.
As of March of 2019, Kelsey has had over 1000 registered tutoring hours on top of 3+ years of experience teaching in the classroom. His extensive work in tutoring middle school, high school, college, and continuing education students (over 1,260 hours), as well as instilling his passion for mathematics, science, language, and philosophy in his students, has earned him a 5.0-star rating (out of about 450 ratings) on Wyzant in addition to his past popularity on Outschool.
This background, coupled with a bent for lifelong learning, has given him a knack for finding and rounding out students' weak spots and boosting their confidence in themselves. I've helped many students find the joy in learning math, language, and philosophy by helping them "crack the code" and dissolve the illusion so often impressed on us that everything about these subjects is difficult, complicated, or even impenetrable. It's not.
