About the book

"Philosophy in Schools is a collection of original philosophical essays that together make a robust case for the teaching of philosophy in schools. Leading philosophers of education explode the myth that philosophy is somehow too difficult or abstract for children and set out a series of compelling arguments for its inclusion in the school curriculum. Key themes addressed include: - the role of philosophy in teaching controversial issues - the epistemological basis of critical thinking - the practice of conceptual analysis - philosophical thinking in moral and religious education - the idea of philosophical intelligence - philosophical themes in children's literature - philosophy and the adolescent's search for meaning - the connection between philosophy and wisdom."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
