Philosophy Adventure: Pre-Socratics walks homeschool students through lessons on members of the School of Athens, exploring their beliefs, background, and works from a biblical worldview, while also learning how to write skillfully, think critically, and speak articulately. Chapters focus on Thales, Pythagoras, Xenophanes, Heraclitus, Parmedides, Empedocles, Protagoras, and Democritus.

Each lesson includes these components:

• The Philosopher’s Story: anecdotes from his life, the time/place he lived, and main accomplishments and beliefs.
• Write, Think and Speak assignments complement the concepts presented.
• Geographical information pertaining to the life of the Philosopher.
• Contrast section (2 parts): the first part presents students with actual source material or a secondary source if no primary work survived, and the second part explores whether his ideas align with a biblical worldview.
