Philosophy at Community College

Apr 07, 2009 14:17

I'm off to teach my General Philosophy class in about half an hour. I am growing tired of teaching Plato, Kant, Aquinas and other olde-tyme philosophers (as I call them)... Is it appropriate to teach Foucault, Deleuze, or Marx to an introductory philosophy class?

I am really losing my attention reading the same texts over and over again. I find that Foucault's Lectures are easier to understand than his books, and I'm working on an article that will hopefully go into Foucault Studies (or some related journal). This would give me an excuse to read/publish get work done. Any thoughts?
