Ancient and Modern Philosophy
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Maguire's classroom raised $569
This project is fully funded
My Project
The Ancient Greek class in our high school is an elective. Students have selected a second ancient language (since they have already completed their years of Latin). Our textbook introduces some aspects of the ancient world. I am hoping to expand the scope of the class with these philosophy books.
The goal of this project is to have students not only study ancient philosophy but also recognize examples of that same philosophy in the modern world. Each student will get to keep their copy of Plato. Students will take turns reading selections from the other philosophy books.
This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community & an Anonymous Partner
and 2 other donors.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
