Arguing for Equality: A Workshop for Secondary School Exploring the Political Argument Starting from the Structure of the Greek Demonstration
摘要
In the article, an interdisciplinary educational path of mathematics and history is described. The laboratory is dedicated to a class of 25 students of the 12th level and it is developed in extracurricular hours. It aims to grasp the relationships between scientific thought and philosophical reflection and to understand the supporting structures of the argumentative and demonstrative procedures of mathematics, also through the mastery of the logical-formal language. In this perspective, mathematics becomes the language for interpreting reality and the tool for identifying and solving problems, building and strengthening critical thinking.
