Scott Davison:
What Do You Love About Teaching?
|
|
I love watching students generate and defend creative solutions to questions where the evidence is mixed and there is no obvious resolution. This is the goal of instruction in philosophy, and it's delightful when students realize that they are able to do this on their own -- it opens up an entirely new world of possibilities for them in the unlimited realm of thought.
