Description

Philip C. Guin was the Director of Teacher Education Services at the Institute for the Advancement of Philosophy for Children (IAPC) at Montclair State College (later University) from 1978 through 2000. He was interviewed on video camera by Peter Shea at the IAPC on December 1, 2005 as part of the IAPC Oral History Project. In the interview, Guin describes his own education in philosophy, how he discovered philosophy for children, and his work preparing teachers to implement the program, in New Jersey and across the United States. He reflects on the impact of doing philosophy on children’s thinking and character. The interview was broadcast on the regional cable and online interview show The Bat of Minerva, which Shea produced and directed for over two decades, with support from the Institute for Advanced Study at the University of Minnesota. It was transcribed, edited, and annotated by Maughn Rollins Gregory.
