I took Philosophy as an Honors elective class with my fabulous teacher Ms. Cynthia Hess. Not only is she an incredible philosophy teacher, but the most club oriented teacher on campus. I'd like her to get recognition on this site because I feel she is positively influencing young adults in every manner. Her philosophy class covered the classics in time period from the Pre-Socratics to present day philosophers, we had deep discussions concerning: epistomology, ontology, axiology, ethics, aesthetics, and logic. Not only that but after the text of Western philosophy was completed we studied Easter philosophy and some of the rarer cultural philosophies such as Maori, Janism, Norse, Alchemy, and Buddhism. To further engage us she invited guest speakers to have discussions with us, ordered food to the class room to de-formalize debate, showed movies that had both entertainment value and expressed surprising philosophical ideas, and last of all she coordinated fund raising to make a weekend stay at a fully functioning Buddhist community in our county. For all this and much, much more, I'd like to recognize and thank Ms. Cynthia Hess. Her instruction of philosophy has enriched my life and writing more than I thought possible.

One of the genres at the Diploma Level Latin is philosophy. The required reading are excerpts from Lucretius' De Rerum Natura. What little experience I have had discussing philosophy with high school students has been very positive. Could anyone recommend anything about ancient philosophy that is suitable for high school juniors and seniors? Also, has anyone heard of the book, The Dream of Scipio? dletts Richland Northeast High School, Columbia, S.C.
