Reflexion on high school lessons of philosophy

Abstract

Reflexion on high school lessons of philosophy. – This article reflects the methods that could be used in the high school education of philosophy. These methods are based on a constructivistical stance in pedagogy. By the use of a constructivistical method there are no transmitted finished resumes of the curriculum (especially not those from the history of philosophy), but it is primarily based on the development of independent philosophical thinking of students – philosophical skills and knowledge are gained particularly by student’s own individual activity. This text focuses on the analysis of specific lessons dedicated to selected philosophical problems. The lessons are designed for the use by students and teachers during high school lessons of philosophy.
