Philosophy: Big Ideas for Young Minds

In this workshop, we attempt to answer one of the most basic questions kids ask, "But why?" This can be added to lots of things such as "But why do we know we exist?", "But why do we know that the sun will come up tomorrow?', "But why do we follow the rules?" These philosophical questions underpin much of our society and allow for understanding in fields as far ranging from medicine to engineering to law.

Learning Goals:

Final Deliverable: The final project for this workshop will be the development of your own "Big Question" and associated answer. This will allow every student to participate in the "philosophical process.”
