{"product_id":"9781543435979","title":"Strecthing Exercises for the Mind: A Philosophical Sort of Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eStretching Exercises for the Mind is an attempt to lure people into philosophical thinking by posing a series of questions that call for reflection and discussion. My experiences as a teacher have confirmed over and over again that if people are asked the right questions, their own reflections will produce insights. This is something I learned from Socrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book has three parts. Part I is a series of questions for reflection and discussion. Part II is a set of classroom-tested exercises I have used to introduce people to the process of philosophical thinking. Part III has the same questions as Part I but with the addition of the author’s responses. These are in no way final answers. Their purpose is simply to continue the conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy goal for the book is a modest one. If even one of these questions or exercises initiates a process of questioning and inspires the thoughtful mining of experience for insights, it will have been successful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133059645680,"sku":"9781543435979","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781543435979_p0.jpg?v=1763749030","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781543435979","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
