About this title

About the Author:

The authors have been widely involved in introducing new learning methods into the field of A Level Philosophy. They have pioneered the use of games and simulations to sharpen philosophical understanding and critical thinking skills. Daniel Cardinal is Head of Philosophy at Orpington College and teaches Philosophy at the Birkbeck Faculty of Continuing Education. Jeremy Hayward is a lecturer at the University of London Institute of Education. Gerald Jones is Head of Humanities at the Mary Ward Centre, London.

Review:

It is a valuable source of analytical material for a teacher seeking to find a detailed evaluation of Descartes' dualism, or the Ontological Argument. It would also suit keen, able students who want to extend their understanding of the context of Descartes' thought. It represents good value for money and would be a positive additional to a departmental library or for a Philosophy of Religion teacher. * RE Today *
