Philosophy in Schools: Continuum Studies in Research in Education

Editat de Professor Michael Hand, Dr Carrie Winstanley
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 iul 2009
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

Recenzii

Title mention in an article in The Guardian, July 2008
"Brighouse... [and] Glueck highlight many essential questions about life that are raised in works of children's literature" Times Educational Supplement, August 2008
'[T]his volume will establish beyond question the value of putting philosophy and its rich gift of insights and methods at the centre of schooling for children of all ages.' A.C. Grayling, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK
Twelve chapters by different authors offer a rich variety of perspectives on this topic. Several of the later contributions make constructive suggestions about how the subject might be taught in the school classroom. The editors provide a helpful introduction that draws together the main themes of the book and summarizes the contents... engaging.
