As I mentioned back in February on this very blog, I'll be piloting an Intro to Philosophy semester course at Mt. Greylock Regional High School in spring 2010, thanks to a grant from the Squire Family Foundation, as well as logistical support from Williams College. The course is designed to give high school juniors and seniors a taste of the discipline of philosophy, using both traditional readings and curriculum (when appropriate) and contemporary, digital-age points of contact (whenever possible!). Logic/critical thinking and ethics will be two of the areas we'll investigate, along with a smattering of metaphysics, political philosophy, and aesthetics (whew!).
I'll be using my newly-created MG Philosophy blog as one of the main foci for course activity. Also check out the official Mt. Greylock webpage for the course, also maintained by me; it has a few links to get started on investigating what it's all about. Students, the syllabus and other course documents will be up sometime this summer - check these sites often! (But you do that anyway, right? :-)
