Anybody do Intro to Philosophy?

[Nicholas_mom]

I was wondering if anybody had any resources for doing an Intro to Philosophy for class?

I don't know that I would call it "intro" to philosophy, but I have had kids take philosophy courses.  I have built courses around the philosophy of science and religion using Great Courses lectures and multiple different resources including books recommended by the lecturers. 

I have also designed a philosophy course around philosophers and their views using Kreeft's books.  (I am a huge Kreeft fan.)  We used his Socrates Meets....series and Christianity for Modern Pagans: Pascal's Pensees. If you are unfamiliar with Kreeft, here are some free audios of his. http://www.peterkreeft.com/audio_more.htm

Thank you!  My dh wants to teach it in a coop setting so we will check out the Kreeft books.  This looks good :)

Would you be willing to post what your dh used and any lesson plans, if he used any , once the class is done?  Thanks

Yeah, my dh doesn't do lesson plans.  He just wings it.  It is only a 10 week fun course.  He has ideas and questions in his head to start the class off, then the class takes a life of it own.
