Discussion Guides for Philosophy

When discussing philosophy, questions tend to arise directly from the complexity of the ideas the author is trying to express. The questions often focus on nuanced terminology, the logic and structure of the author’s argument, and the apparent or real contradictions in the writing. Shared Inquiry™ provides an ideal means for thoroughly exploring philosophical works.

The following online discussion guides were written by Foundation editors for selected classic and contemporary Penguin titles. Each discussion guide features interpretive questions that support lively and extended discussion, biographical background on the author, and recommended related titles.
