Philosophy and Education

Explore the following websites for a variety of perspectives on philosophy, education, critical thinking, and history.


  • The first is a website created by philosopher Richard Garlikov. Here you will gain access to his philosophical essays and other educational materials. The ones I find intriguing are 
    • "The Socratic Method"
    • "Unfairness of the Collegeboard SATs"

  • The following website is from Dr. Paul Apodaca's website. The podcasts on Spain and Sovereignty are intriguing. Check out the PowerPoints for insights into critical thinking, culture, and anthropologyttp://www1.chapman.edu/~apodaca/Paul_Apodaca_PhD/Welcome.html
