Philosophical Chairs

The Set-up AGAINST FOR

Preparing for the Discussion As a class, select an issue that you are passionate about With a small group, brainstorm a list of reasons FOR and AGAINST the issues on the Philosophical Chairs T-Chart. Then decide personally whether you are FOR or AGAINST the issue.

Directions You must decide whether you are FOR or AGAINST the issue Sit on the side of the room labeled FOR or AGAINST A neutral mediator stands in between the groups Calls on sides to speak Can limit time Makes sure everyone who wants to speak has the opportunity Can call on anyone at anytime to speak. Be prepared!

Rules Listen while others speak. Wait for the mediator to call on you to speak. Use the notes from the Philosophical Chairs T-Chart to support your position. In one sentence, summarize the previous speaker’s argument before you respond.

Rules (Continued) If you have already spoken, wait for three other people on your side to speak before you speak again. Address ideas, not the person stating the ideas. Keep an open mind. You may move to the other side if you feel someone has made a good argument or your opinion swayed. Fill out an evaluation form at the end.
