Philosophy for/with Children (P4wC) has long been considered crucial for children’s ethical and moral education, and a decisive contribution for education for the democratic life in a global world. This volume includes a collection of invited essays from distinguished scholars in the field, offering new perspectives on how childhood and moral education are interrelated within the P4wC movement. The volume is the result of the research project P4C-AIM (IFILNOVA, NOVA FCSH, UNL) gathering together thought-provoking essays about how philosophical assumptions modify moral and ethical education and the unique contribution of P4wC in the reconceptualization of childhood.
