Studies in Philosophy for Children: Pixie
Abstract
There is a relation between the development of early science and philosophy and the cognitive needs of children. Both operate with a paucity of experience, both are hypothetical and conjectural and both have the capacity for critical self-correction—the former in sensitivity to its tradition and the latter, insofar as children have access to a community of inquiry. Pixie, then, is an ideal forum for the introduction of science and philosophy in a manner similar to that in which it occurred in the Greek tradition, providing, along the way, the newness and freshness of discovery and invention.
