Reviews

 Reviews: The Philosophy Shop is a much needed corrective, because at its heart it is encouraging young people to think, and to think independently of exams. Anthony Seldon, Master of Wellington College and author Very impressed,

 I completely agree that introducing core philosophical issues to students with a 'hook' that grabs them is the best way to approach the subject. Ian Tustin, lead teacher of religion and philosophy, Wadham School 

The Philosophy Shop is on a mission to bring philosophy into our schools. This book brilliantly shows how accessible philosophy is, and how fun and mind-expanding it can be, for any ages. Jules Evans, author of Philosophy for Life and Other Dangerous Situations 

'This book should get anyone thinking.' Nigel Warburton, The Open University: 

This book is a timely and welcome text for teachers. It is essential reading for schools that want to move teaching and learning to outstanding and improve the questioning skills for staff and students. John T Morris BA(Hons),MEd,MPhil,CertEd Director JTM Educational Consultants
