About
this Site
This area has been established to provide support for teachers of philosophy and critical thinking. It may also be used to provide general reading on the techniques and rules of critical thinking. Teachers of the subject Philosophy and Reason in Queensland, Australia have provided materials for distribution to support and help establish similar courses elsewhere.
Materials available
This site contains booklets covering areas such as inductive reasoning, argumentation, fallacies of reasoning, propositional logic, moral and social philosophy, philosophy of mind, truth tables and trees, and many more. There are also sections which provide cartoons covering aspects of philosophy, audio and video files and media articles which may be use for fallacy spotting. The links on the left of the page will take you to the materials.
Links
Links have been placed to sites that have proven useful for providing resources for the classroom. Most are sites that promote critical thinking. The number of links will become large in time so expect a change of layout.
Help us grow
At the moment we are a small group attempting to provide a large service. As this site is quite new, we are still gathering resources and ideas for implementation, so if you have anything to share, any ideas on what you would like to see here, or any suggestions for improvement, please email using the link at the top of the page. We expect to be posting new stuff at least weekly and hope to include discussion forums, visitors' books and the like in the future. Enjoy and tibi cogitate!
