Experiencing Philosophybegins with the assumption that philosophy is not merely something you know, but also something you experience and participate in. The book presents philosophical theories and ideas with reference to their practical relevance to the lives of student readers. To this end, a number of engaging features and inserts are provided: <ul> <li>* Original Sources: Numerous primary readings are included, introducing students directly to the philosophical work of diverse thinkers ranging from Plato to Martin Luther King Jr. Each reading is thoughtfully excerpted and is followed by reflective questions.</li> <li>* Philosopher Profiles: Abstract ideas are connected to the lives of real historical figures through fascinating biographical profiles.</li> <li>* Take It Personally: To illustrate how philosophy can be useful and relevant, each chapter begins by placing the material in a personal context.</li> <li>* Know Thyself Diagnostics: This book takes seriously--as did Socrates--the Delphic Oracle's dictum to know thyself. Students are given self-diagnostics to explore their own philosophical values, ideals, and beliefs.</li> <li>* Philosophers in Action: Philosophy is something you do, not just something you know. Prompts are provided throughout the text inviting students to conduct thought experiments, analyze concepts, and discuss and debate controversial points.</li> <li>* Thinking about Your Thinking: These metacognitive prompts require students to engage in higher-order thinking, not only about the presented readings and ideas, but also with respect to their own values, assumptions, and beliefs.</li> <li>* Plus: Built-in study guides, diagrams, famous philosophical quotations, comics, feature boxes, and more!</li> </ul>

At 15 years old, Petra must grow into the lessons of the Mayan hummingbird as she carves her future out of a childhood scarred by gang violence. Petra's life has been upended by local gang violence in her small Guatemalan village. Her childhood friend Emilio had a hand in their friend Justina's murder, and his father is the local gang leader's right-hand man. Betrayed by Emilio and abandoned by her mother who has fled to the U.S., Petra now fears for her own life. Petra ultimately flees to the U.S., but the pressures follow her there. As she attempts to reconcile with her mother over the abandonment, Petra is alarmed that her mother disregards the danger when he shows up near their home. The novel explores forgiveness and redemption, how to heal oneself and find a future of integrity with friends and community who have participated in atrocities.
