- Resistance, Rebellion, and Reason: An Anthology of Ancient Philosophy
Description
Resistance, Rebellion, and Reason: An Anthology of Ancient Philosophy brings together writings from both ancient and modern political thinkers whose activism laid the foundation for our political and social understanding of justice.
The volume emphasizes the ideas of the Greeks and demonstrates their timeliness and application in words from authors including Kant, Tolstoy, Martin Luther King, Jr., and other historically relevant dissenters. Embedded in each writing is a strong sense of empathy, compassion, and a desire to imprint upon the next generation the important ideas of political and social justice. The writings encourage students to develop critical thought, challenge their own beliefs and ideas, and draw connections between the past and the present.
The anthology features four units that cover the investigation of classic philosophical thought, ethical leadership, living the good life, and political excellence. Students read selections from Thomas Cahill, Plato, Aristotle, Sophocles, Cicero, and others. Throughout, the readings are framed by introductions, philosopher biographies, post-reading questions, and reflection prompts to provide context and inspire discussion.
Resistance, Rebellion, and Reason encourages readers to draw upon the wisdom of the past to better understand the present and shape the future. The anthology is ideal for courses in philosophy, politics, social justice, and psychology.
