Description

Ideas have consequences, and worldviews matter. Expose your student to history’s most powerful philosophies and the men who developed them.

This demanding high-school homeschool elective course in philosophy includes several components to train your student in forming a biblical worldview:

• Introductory videos on each philosopher by R.C. Sproul from his popular Consequences of Ideas video series
• Primary source readings from the works of individual philosophers
• Secondary readings from John Frame’s A History of Western Philosophy and Theology to provide a Christian analysis of philosophers, their ideas, and their legacy (purchased separately)
• A mixture of writing assignments, articles, quizzes and research projects

The course would be an excellent capstone for students who want to understand the ideas that have formed Western civilization. Not only will they will come out with a solid understanding of the history of philosophy, they will also be able to “take every thought captive to obey Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10:5, ESV).
