Hi! I've just been thinking about some of the things I should put together for my kids to consider this year when they are home schooled (for a year anyway). Here are some of the debates I would like to introduce them to.
Free will and predestination, which would include reference to Luther/Erasmus, Calvin/Armenius and Pelagius/Augustine debates)
Luther versus Tetzel (on works versus faith for salvation as seen in Luther's 95 Theses)
Booker T. Washington vs. Eugene DuBois on the direction and strategy of race relations
Athanasius vs. Arius on nature of the Father, Son and Spirit (Nicene Council)
Einstein vs. Neils Bohr on quantum mechanics
The Scopes Trial (Clarence Darrow vs. Wm. Jennings Bryan) and continued debate on teaching Intelligent Design vs. Materialistic Evolution
Ludwig Wittgenstein vs. Classical Philosophy on the usefulness of language in determining anything significant.
Republican/Conservative views versus Democratic/Liberal views
Empiricism vs. Rationalism
Other "great debates" that I wouldn't really plan to get my kids into now:
Abortion/Anti-Abortion
Gay Marriage/Nature of Homosexuality
debates surrounding roles of men and women in society
debates surrounding economic policy/monetary standards
debates surrounding population control
debates surrounding use of Natural Resources (oil, coal, etc.)
debates surrounding rights of species other than ours
debates surrounding the nature of intelligence and how it should be measured
debates surrounding String Theory and M-theory (as theories of everything)
that's about it for now!
