Studies in Philosophy for Children: Pixie
Abstract
Philosophy for Children is at once strongly child-centred and highly teacher-sensitive. It encourages students to delve into, and build upon, ideas, concepts and problems that they themselves choose as both interesting and, in some sense, important. Yet it is the teacher who, at least in the first instance, must encourage her students to talk and to listen, who must weave into a coherent form their disparate thoughts and ideas, and who must exemplify modes of thoughtful and reasonable behaviour.
