Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In an age of artificial intelligence, standardised testing and information overload, the ability to truly think has never been more important or more neglected. Dare to Think! is a passionate, practical inquiry into what thinking actually is, why it matters and how educators can deliberately create the conditions for it in their classrooms. Drawing on nearly three decades in the classroom and a rich tradition of philosophical inquiry from Aristotle to Wittgenstein, Andrew Rogers argues that too many students have been trained to remember and reproduce rather than question, wonder and reason, and that this is a problem educators have both the power and the responsibility to address.Structured as a genuine inquiry rather than a prescriptive manual, the book uses philosophy as both its method and its message. Andrew defines what thinking actually is, exposes the imposters that masquerade as it and makes the case for dialogue, curiosity and reasoning as the foundations of transformative education. He writes as a co-inquirer alongside the reader, sharing what has worked and inviting educators to reflect on their own practice. For any teacher who has glimpsed that rare moment when students are genuinely alive with ideas, this book offers a clear path to making it happen every day.
