Summary
This sequential bibliography matches the 1981 edition of Pixie page by page. It contains both sources—works that influenced Matthew Lipman in writing the novel, references to philosophical works he and Ann Margaret Sharp recommend to explore the novels’ philosophical themes, and brief commentary on them by Lipman.
Excerpt
2: 1-7 The story of the story
In one sense, the story of a story is a matter of history, and one can learn a lot about it by reading reflections of historians on what they do. See, for example, Robin Collingwood, The Idea of History; E. H. Carr, What is History; and John Herman Randall, The Nature of Historical Knowledge. In another sense, there is the role of the story as told by the child in the course of the child's education. A good presentation of this is described in Vivian Gussin Paley's "Listen to the Children", Teacher Magazine, September, 1991.
