Abstract
This text presents a conversation between two long time philosophical and educational friends reflecting on the field of philosophical education and childhood. The discussion began as a part of a shared experience of an intensive teacher education workshop held at the State University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It covers themes including teacher education; philosophy as inquiry and a way of life; methodological issues on philosophical inquiry with children; educational and philosophical time; philosophy for children; questioning, reasonableness; colonisation and counter-colonisation. The conversation affirms the philosophical and educational force of beginning. The conversation ends with a coda after the two friends meet again during the traditional annual Mendham teacher education seminar in New Jersey, USA.
