Thought Streams combines classic readings in philosophy with some shorter pedagogical aids. The readings are edited in such a way as to make texts like Plato’s Phaedo or Aristotle’s Ethics serve for one or two class periods. To aid student use study questions are interspersed at appropriate points within each reading. This text is specifically designed for institutions where strong liberal arts backgrounds and associated study skills are the exception.
