Age: 14+ High School Half or One Credit
Develop your high school student’s worldview and understanding of the rise of ideologies and how they’re relevant today with our Philosophy curriculum taught by Dr. R.C. Sproul.
Consequences of Ideas gives students:
- Introductory videos on each philosopher by R.C. Sproul from his popular Consequences of Ideas video series including Plato, Aristotle, Locke, Kant, Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, and more
- Primary source readings from the full, historic books by each philosopher
- Secondary readings from John Frame’s monumental A History of Western Philosophy and Theology (purchased separately) to provide a Christian analysis of the philosopher, his ideas, and his legacy
- A mixture of assignments, articles, quizzes and research projects to reinforce learning
The course would be an excellent capstone for upperclassmen who want to put together all the pieces they’ve accumulated across disciplines like science, literature, history, and art. They will come out of the survey more informed about the ideas that form the world they are entering, and to “destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ…” (2 Corinthians 10:5, ESV)
- Engaging video lectures
- Primary source readings
- Readings in A History of Western Philosophy and Theology (sold separately)
- Writing exercises
- Projects
- Quizzes
- Interactive resources
