Jouir d'un jugement adéquat au long de la vie grâce à une véritable éducation de la pensée, si possible dès l'enfance et, par conséquent, pouvoir décider de façon efficace, représente le but essentiel de l'auteur. Cela est particulièrement important pour préserver la démocratie par la compétence d'une citoyenneté lucide et responsable. Mais c'est par une histoire à la fois réaliste et merveilleuse, suite directe de Pixie, que Lipman nous plonge dans les questions les plus actuelles　: une éducation appropriée à l'action, des relations positives avec la nature et les animaux, la solidarité dans les épreuves, la reconnaissance de l'autre, le dialogue des générations, la préservation de l'imagination et de la créativité, etc. Notre avenir humain en dépend. Il faut donc s'y appliquer car «　l'éducation morale bien menée est tout, sauf facile.　»

Kio está pasando el verano en la granja de sus abuelos y conoce a Gus, que vive en la granja vecina, y se hacen amigos. Gus es ciega y Kio trata de explicarle cómo se ven las cosas y los colores, pero Gus termina maravillándole a él con la riqueza y precisión que sus otros sentidos le aportan a su aprehensión de la realidad. Estos amigos nos invitan a reflexionar sobre la percepción, y de la mano de analogías, metáforas y símiles, vamos entendiendo a la naturaleza, los animales y la ecología desde la perspectiva de los niños.

Are children natural philosophers? They are curious about questions such as the meaning and purpose of being alive and whether we can know anything at all. Pre-college philosophy takes as a starting point young people's inherent interest in large questions about the human condition. Philosophy and Education: Introducing Philosophy to Young People seeks to illuminate the ways in which philosophy can strengthen and deepen pre-college education.The book examines various issues involved in teaching philosophy to young people at different grade levels, including assessing what teachers need in order to teach philosophy and describing several models for introducing philosophy into schools. Ways to explore specific branches of philosophy – ethics, epistemology, metaphysics, aesthetics, and logic – through literature, thought experiments, and games and activities, as well as traditional philosophy texts, are described. The book's final section considers student assessment and program evaluation, and analyzes the contributions pre-college philosophy can make to education in general.Teachers and educators – and parents – all want young people to grow up with the skills they need to pursue their own goals and become productive and successful adults. Thinking independently and reasoning clearly are central to these objectives. Philosophy helps students develop some of the analytic skills they need to engage in thoughtful decision-making throughout their lives, and the richness of the questions involved can help young people maintain their awareness of the world as marvelous and mysterious.

Philosophy for Children (P4C) is an approach to learning and teaching that aims to develop reasoning and judgement. Students learn to listen to and respect their peers'opinions, think creatively and work together to develop a deeper understanding of concepts central to their own lives and the subjects they are studying. With the teacher adopting the role of facilitator, a true community develops in which rich and meaningful dialogue results in enquiry of the highest order. Each chapter is written by a leading P4C expert and provides an introduction to the relationship between P4C and the subject area, lesson stimuli and activities for extending and deepening students'thinking. The book includes: • guidance on how to embed P4C in curriculum subjects in a crowded and demanding secondary curriculum timetable • troubleshooting advice for the teacher-turned-facilitator • a companion website containing useful links, downloadable resources and material to display on your interactive whiteboard. Edited and collated by the UK's leading P4C organisation, this book introduces a rationale for using and adapting P4C in the secondary curriculum.
