Comment faire comprendre la democratie ? Comment apprecier l'ideal democratique ? Comment former de jeunes citoyens ? Comment motiver les populations, les jeunes en particulier, a defendre les valeurs democratiques ? Autant de questions cruciales parmi d'autres auxquelles Matthew Lipman offre les moyens de repondre, dans un esprit humaniste, grace a une recherche pedagogique unique par sa profondeur et son ouverture, fruit d'une patiente experimentation. Le recit, miroir realiste des problemes de vie, est le support d'un questionnement affine destine a developper une pensee critique et constructive par une communaute de recherche instaurant un dialogue veritable, permanent, avec soi-meme comme avec les autres.
Embracing an argument-based model for teaching history, the Debating American History series encourages students to participate in a contested, evidence-based discourse about the human past. Each book poses a question that historians debate--How democratic was the US constitution? Why did civil war erupt in the United States in 1861?--and provides abundant primary sources so that students can make their own efforts at interpreting the evidence. They can then use that analysis to construct answers to the big question that frames the debate and argue in support of their position. Conflict and Accommodation in Colonial New Mexico poses this big question: How completely did the Spanish empire extend its control into the northern Rio Grande region in the 17th century?

What constitutes a good life? For most people, well-being involves more than a high income or material prosperity alone. Many non-material aspects, such as health, family life, living environment, job quality and the meaningful use of time are at least as important. Together, these factors also influence the degree to which people are satisfied with their lives, and help to determine how happy they feel. This book argues that happiness and life satisfaction do not form a good basis for measuring well-being, and proposes an alternative method that not only considers the various aspects of well-being, but also the fact that people have their own views on what is important in life. Not limited just to theory, the book also presents a large-scale, representative survey involving more than 3000 adults from over 2000 Belgian families, which charted the various aspects of the individual well-being of Belgians. Focusing on the unequal distribution of these various aspects of well-being within families, the survey showed that some Belgians are more likely to suffer from cumulative deprivation in multiple dimensions. Based on this innovative study, the book describes which people in society are worst off – and these are not necessarily only people on low incomes or those who feel unhappy – and proposes that policymakers prioritise these individuals.
