Reviews

It is not only students who need an occasional injection of new approaches in the classroom to motivate and enhance their learning. Both beginning and seasoned philosophy teachers also welcome fresh ideas and will find these essays a great resource for energizing their teaching. -- Rosalind Ekman Ladd, Professor of Philosophy Emerita, Wheaton College, Massachusetts
