What can we know? What should we do? How should we, as humans among humans, live? Philosophy deals with questions, problems, and peculiarities of everyday life, from which complex thoughts can develop. This volume provides access to three of the major philosophical disciplines: epistemology, ethics, and political and legal philosophy. Tailored to the developmental stage and life world of students in grades 8 to 10, the book offers an exemplary insight into classic philosophical questions that still provoke thought. Each chapter includes an introduction to the respective discipline as well as excerpts from the most important foundational texts. The accompanying tasks promote reading comprehension, encourage reflection, and establish connections to further philosophical contexts as well as to personal everyday life.
