Imo a better into to philosophy is the Trial and Death of Socrates. I think seeing the Socratic method is a great way to introduce this idea that we can question everything. Moving forward in class that's what we'll be doing, so I think it's nice to have that conversation with students right away.
former philosophy instructor here. that's exactly what I used to do with my introduction to philosophy courses.
