Philosophy teaches children to think for themselves and to grapple with the 'big questions'. This book focuses on what philosophy can offer children and their teachers. Its central theme is that when the classroom is transformed into a 'community of inquiry', children discover how to think in ways which are more reflective and reasonable. The authors link philosophy and other subject areas, and identify strategies for tackling issues confronting society - including peace and violence, sexuality discrimination, and the environment. This is a comprehensive guide to the techniques of Philosophy for Children with extensive discussion of the educational theory behind it. This book would suit people who already have some insight into Philosophy for Children but want to know how it links to wider educational issues.
