Booker T Washington Philosophy Blog
Michael Dean Burroughs (a PHD candidate at UMemphis) has a blog for the philosophy class he teaches at Booker T Washington High School in Memphis, TN. What makes it especially interesting, aside from his engaging style of writing and the philosophical problems themselves, is the responses in the comment sections from his students. He invites visitors to join in!
Can happiness and pleasure be the same thing, or are they fundamentally different? Is justice fairness, the existence of consequences, or a state of being? Can there be a universal concept of a good life, or will it differ from person to person in a way that defies a single description?
Discuss the distinction between happiness and pleasure, the definition of justice, or what constitutes the good life and other topics with high school students and other guests over at Blog Philos.
