Philosophy Park

Philosophy Park is a beginner’s guide to philosophy, which introduces young readers to the ideas of some of the world’s most famous philosophers, both ancient and modern. It includes notes on each philosopher and a story based on what they had to say about a key philosophical issue or problem. The accompanying Teacher Resource Book provides teachers with a practical guide for using the book in the classroom, as well as carefully constructed topic questions, activities and exercises with which to extend student thinking and discussion. With its focus on critical and creative thinking, the Teacher Resource Book will be particularly welcomed by teachers who are beginning to grapple with the renewed emphasis being placed on critical and creative thinking in the new Australian Curriculum.
