Opis

In 1972 the Institute for the Advancement of Philosophy for Children formulated a programme promoting philosophy in schools, based on an open community of inquiry. This book recounts details of the successes and difficulties in implementing this model over the last thirty six years, from teachers and philosophers around the world, raising questions about the basic incompatibility of the democratic model and conventional models of schooling. This book was originally published as a special issue of Educational Philosophy and Theory.

Recenzje

"[T]he book provides interesting reflections about the role of philosophy in promoting freedom and in critically analyzing the rules established to ensure order. Philosophy can play an important role in the maintenance or in the subversion of social patterns and stratifications." - Independent Scholar and Member Italian Journal of Sociology of Education, February 2017
