Books to go with Sophie's World.

[Mommyfaithe]

Does anyone have a list of extra books you have used with Sophie's World?? I am thinking it would work out nicely to spread out the Smarr Intro to Philosophy into a year long course and use it as a springboard to our Literature and Writing assignments for the year....ala Great Books. DS is just finishing up his 2nd rotation and needs a year "off" from Ancients...as in GAG!!! Please ...no more Greeks!!! HAHAHA!!! Anyway, I don't think he will be too damages if we do a 2 year cycle in 11th and 12th and take 10th grade to study Philosophy, Economics and Geography...so....

Anyway...I am just exhausted and tossing all kids of crazy..."what do I do next year??" questions out there.

Thanks for your patience:D

Faithe,
We used The Story of Philosophy which is the text used with TOG. With Sophie's World I used Jeff Baldwin's study guide. (I don't think this is what you are asking, but FWIW).
Let me know what you think of the Smarr guide:).

Oh cool....I actually have that book. Did you correlate the chapters...and was it easy to do that?

The Smarr guide looks great. I haven't had a chance to sit and really read it, but I really like the layout.

I didn't know Jeff Baldwin had a guide. How was that one?

R.C. Sproul has a DVD series called "Consequences of Ideas" (actually, I think he has a book, too). Anyway, it traces the history of Western philosophy. I think Jean in Wisconsin watched it with her dc. Dh is buying the DVDs for me for our anniversary. :D

Just another idea for a supplement.

I can't remember who but I believe on the old boards, someone posted a long and in depth plan to do their own worldview or philosophy type course using this book as either the first reading or the core.

Like I said, it's foggy now but when I read it I thought it looked amazing. Worth a search anyway...
