Philosophy
for Children encourages children to develop their own views and help
them develop their intellectual confidence. During sessions the teacher
and pupils share an initial 'stimulus', usually a reading, and devise
questions they want to discuss related to the initial stimulus. The
thinking and discussion that takes place in the sessions helps children
learn to be clear in their thinking and to make responsible and more
deliberate judgements, basing them on reasoning. Sessions can be
used to explore more general philosophical issues such as change,
personal identity, free will and truth.
