Description
Philosophy in Schools is a collection of original philosophical essays that together make a robust case for the teaching of philosophy in schools. Leading philosophers of education explode the myth that philosophy is somehow too difficult or abstract for children and set out a series of compelling arguments for its inclusion in the school curriculum.
Key themes addressed include:
– the role of philosophy in teaching controversial issues
– the epistemological basis of critical thinking
– the practice of conceptual analysis
– philosophical thinking in moral and religious education
– the idea of philosophical intelligence
– philosophical themes in children’s literature
– philosophy and the adolescent’s search for meaning
– the connection between philosophy and wisdom
