Book synopsis

"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"
