This 27-slide PowerPoint has been carefully designed to walk students through one of the best chapters ever written in Western Philosophy on what makes studying philosophy valuable. In 1912, Bertrand Russell’s book The Problems of Philosophy was published. The last chapter titled “The Value of Philosophy” is both beautiful and profound, introducing students to the idea that even when philosophy doesn’t provide answers, it is of the utmost value due to its power to change and liberate the Self. Therefore, Russell’s chapter along with this PowerPoint is a superb way to introduce first-time students to the subject and study of philosophy.
This presentation is divided into three parts:
Summary and Context
Main Points (with quotations)
Discussion Questions
It is advised that you have the students read the chapter first. A free PDF can be found by click here.
