  1. Argument Identification: The Problem of Non-Argumentative Phenomena.Matthias Holweger - forthcoming - Teaching Philosophy.
    A major part of philosophical work is engagement with argumentative texts. Engaging with an argumentative text involves correctly identifying the arguments presented in this text. In the context of teaching philosophy in school, the difficulty of correctly identifying arguments in philosophical texts is often underestimated.

  3. Moralisches Chaos im Klassenzimmer - Probleme bei der Behandlung von Moralphilosophie in der Schule.Matthias Holweger & Friedrich Christoph Dörge - manuscript
    Die meisten Ethik- und Philosophie-Lehrpläne sehen vor, dass Schüler/innen die Grundlagen der Moralphilosophie kennen und verstehen. Im vorliegenden Beitrag nennen und erläutern wir einige Probleme, die der Erreichung dieses Ziels entgegenstehen. Eines dieser Probleme – die Vermischung unterschiedlicher Fragen – illustrieren wir an einer konkreten Lehreinheit. Anschließend skizzieren wir schädliche Folgen dieses Problems und deuten mögliche Wege zu seiner Beseitigung an.
