1. Harry Prime (novel)
Matthew Lipman
Like the other Students in the Thinking and Learning Environment, Harry Prime has enrolled in an evening course in search of his High School Equivalency Certificate. Before long, he and his friends discover that some ways of thinking are better than others. They promptly turn their newfound powers of critical reasoning upon such matters as science, art, religion, education and mind. As they proceed with their discussions, they disclose what it is to form a community of inquiry.
Harry Prime (like Harry Stottlemeier's Discovery, another philosophical novel by Matthew Lipman) is a fictional introduction to philosophy and logic. Some will see it as a college or secondary school text, especially when supplemented with the instructor's manual, Philosophical Inquiry, also published by the I.A.P.C. Others will see it as an exciting encounter with ideas. And still others will view it as a sustained, disciplinary exercise in careful, thoughtful reading.
