Doing Philosophy presents contemporary pieces designed to apply philosophical ideas to a wide range of social, political and cultural thought.
Students will explore philosophical questions related to the world's water supply, stem cell research, ethnic cleansing, literacy, freedom of expression, justice, globalization, copyright and intellectual property, campaign financing, child abuse, cruelty to animals, and other issues in the news today. Philosopher's Web introduces current and appropriate Internet web sites to help students explore philosophical topics in greater detail.
Word on the Street asks contemporary high school and university students to discuss some of philosophy's major questions and concerns such as what is a meaningful life, or what is a just society? Timelines place topics and personalities within historical and cultural contexts.
Toga Talks offer marginal quotations by philosophers, states-people, scientists, artists and writers to provide a continuing commentary on the philosophical issues under discussion.
