In our philosophy class, we will explore a range of moral dilemmas and how the wisdom of the ages can help us to think critically and ethically about our choices. Through interactive discussions and engaging scenarios, students will have the opportunity to:

Develop critical thinking and reasoning skills
Analyze complex ethical dilemmas
Consider the perspectives of others and develop empathy
Explore the historical and contemporary perspectives of famous philosophers
Reflect on personal values and ethical decision-making
Our class will be structured around a series of scenarios, each designed to challenge students to consider difficult ethical questions and explore their own beliefs and values. 

Here's what you can expect:

Scenario introduction: The class will begin with an introduction to a moral dilemma that the students may encounter in their own lives.

Group discussion: Students will have the opportunity to share their initial thoughts and opinions on the scenario, considering what they would do in that situation and why.

Philosopher's perspective: We will then examine the thoughts and beliefs of a famous philosopher who has written on the same topic. This will give students a broader understanding of different perspectives and ways of thinking about the scenario.

Group discussion: After hearing the philosopher's perspective, we will return to the original scenario and consider how the philosopher's views might change the way we think about it.

New scenario: We will then introduce a new, similar scenario that builds on the themes and concepts explored in the previous discussion. Students will have the opportunity to apply what they have learned and reflect on how our class has evolved the thinking process regarding this scenario.

This class will be taught in an interactive and engaging way, with opportunities for students to ask questions, share their opinions, and participate in group discussions. My aim is to create a safe and supportive environment where students can explore complex ethical issues and develop their own critical thinking skills.
