Zusatztext ‘Kenkmann has brought together an impressive variety of contributors, each of whom provides a different perspective on how one should approach the teaching of philosophy. A distinctive and refreshing feature of the book is that all the authors embed their recommendations within a particular philosophical tradition rather than a general pedagogical theory. The sheer range of approaches should stimulate a much needed debate among philosophers about how best to teach their discipline.' - George Macdonald Ross, Director of the Subject Centre for Philosophical and Religious Studies, University of Leeds, UK Informationen zum Autor Andrea Kenkmann has a PhD in philosophy from the University of East Anglia, UK, and has taught at the Universities of East Anglia and Hertfordshire, UK.
