Aristotle, Camus, and Teaching and Learning about Citizenship.
Spurgeon, Chris
Westminster Studies in Education, v18 p15-26 1995
Describes a high school citizenship class unit that contrasted Aristotle's concept of a public citizen with the actions of Meursault in Albert Camus's "The Stranger." Through writing assignments and class activities, the students connected their own ideas of citizenship, freedom, and conformity with Aristotelian and existentialist concepts. (MJP)
