This volume brings together essays that examine and defend the use of experiential learning activities to teach philosophical terms, concepts, arguments, and practices, and argue that teaching philosophy is about doing philosophy with others.

Recenzje

"Experiential Learning in Philosophy invites professors and students to step out of ‘Plato’s cave’ – the ‘chalk and talk’ classroom – and let in some fresh air and sunlight. It presents a wonderful array of experiential learning techniques which can help philosophical study come alive for all participants. After reading this excellent volume it will be hard to see – or teach – philosophy in quite the same way." —Drew Leder, Loyola University Maryland, USA
