The article discusses the challenge instructors face when teaching foundational ethical theories, particularly in engaging students with no prior philosophy background. The author passionately embraces this challenge by transforming traditional discussions into interactive experiences resembling escape rooms. By creating a scaled-down version of an escape room in the classroom, students collaboratively tackle moral dilemmas like the trolley problem. This innovative approach not only makes ethics more tangible and relevant but also fosters a dynamic learning environment where students can enjoy the process of deliberation and problem-solving together.
If you fail to do so, you do not move on in the challenge, which leads to "failing" to "escape." The stakes in ethical discussions can become similarly intense.
I treat my classes as places to learn together and with each other through a variety of activities. Not only is it fun for the students to work through dilemmas together.
