An overview of the key methods and media of philosophy that promote students' independent thinking in ethics and philosophy classes. Philosophizing means reflecting on the meaning and purpose of the world. This reflection has a 2500-year Western tradition. Not only do substantive issues such as happiness or justice play an important role, but also the methods of reflection themselves. Philosophizing is a technique that can be practiced and perfected. The book provides a systematic overview of the problem areas of philosophy and the methodological diversity of philosophical thinking through examples. Central to this are concept analysis, argumentation techniques, the Socratic dialogue, thought experiments, and methods of text interpretation, alongside traditional media of philosophy such as specialized texts.
