Every great philosopher begins by asking, “What is philosophy?” J&B’s Orange Program Module I celebrates this question by providing young thinkers (grades 7-8) with a firm foundation in everything logic and inquiry-based. It takes students on a journey that begins in the realms of Ancient Greece and travels all the way to the twentieth century, allowing them to confront classic philosophical concepts and ideas. By teaching students how to “think like philosophers,” Module I is the first step on a journey that will make its readers re-examine the world around them. 

Philosophy is the cousin of essay writing. In J&B’s Orange Program Module II: “Philosophical Logic,” budding philosophers (grades 7-8) learn all about the importance of logic—what it looks like, how to use it, and how it appears in writing. As students learn how to apply logic to philosophical writing, they gain the skills they need to prepare for years of argumentative writing ahead. The coursebook teaches students not only how to “think like a philosopher”—but also how to write like one. 

You know you’re a philosopher if you disagree with other philosophers.

As students familiarize themselves with major philosophical works, they learn how to interact with complex ideas that redefine everything they think they know about the world around them. The coursebook is more than a “Philosophy 101” course—it teaches students how to define themselves in a world of uncertainty.
