     Extractions: Ideas, Intuitions, and Images Main "First you have the ideas, and then you find a place to express them." Maybe, but I doubt it. Compare: "first you invent something, and then you find a part of some civilization to which it might be of use." I am sure that happens, but I doubt that happens very often. The usual pattern is that we craft our ideas for the available means of expression, the available audience. If I am limited to academic articles, I will have ideas in academic article shape. If I have more informal outlets, I will have informal ideas. If someone listens to my half-baked stuff, I will produce half-baked stuff. If Aunt Mary likes funny cat stories, I will be on the lookout for funny behavior in cats. When one starts a new journal, or makes blogs an option for a university community, or provides a new conversational forum, or perhaps most radical of all licenses a new conversational style, one transforms the intellectual scene - the broad possibilities for speech. (Think of what Henry James, Martha Nussbaum, John Wisdom made possible.) Also, if one closes down some option, one makes a certain kind of speech less likely to survive. (We have lost, I think, the medieval disputation, the climate that produced the Summa . We are perhaps on the way to losing some styles of anti-Semitic discourse.) It's one of those paradox thingees: speech begins with listening, and listening begins with speech.

103. Philosophy For Children
     Discusses introduction of philosophy into the school curriculum; by Michael Pritchard.  
     http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/children/
     
     Extractions: Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free Philosophy typically makes its formal entry into the curriculum at the college level. A growing number of high schools offer some introduction to philosophy, often in special literature courses for college bound students. This suggests that serious philosophical thinking is not for pre-adolescents. Two reasons might be offered for accepting this view. First, philosophical thinking requires a level of cognitive development that, one may believe, is beyond the reach of pre-adolescents. Second, the school curriculum is already crowded; and introducing a subject like philosophy will not only distract students from what they need to learn, it may encourage them to become skeptics rather than learners. However, there are grounds for challenging both of these reasons for resisting philosophy for children. They will be addressed in turn. 1. Are Children Capable of Philosophical Thinking?

     Extractions: Philosophy for Children Stella Accorinti President of the Research Centre in Philosophy for Children - Argentina The US philosopher Mathew Lipman, created Philosophy for Children in 1969, and nowadays more than 50 countries from all continents has applied its program. The goal has nothing to do with trying to convert these children and teenagers into professional philosophers, but instead, its aim is to develop and preserve their critical, creative and caring thinking and attitude. The program is based on: A bunch of philosophical texts, written by philosophers that works at Philosophy for Children, both in theory as well as practice. These reading texts represents the basis on which the philosophical discussion is built. The texts were thought and written in order to achieve the discussion, therefore, they are written with a didactic intention (that’s why we just don’t use any kind of text from the corpus of the literature, and that’s why we refuse to call them "tales" or "novels". Although we avoid to use any kind of texts, we obviously use some carefully as an extra material for some discussion that are already taking place, and that was previously instigated by those philosophical texts mentioned before. In the same way, we sometimes use pictures, literature texts, films or any-other source we think is well suited). A formation program for teachers, that will allow them to extract all the possibilities from the texts, assuring them that the task that’s being performed is the development of the complex thought and the philosophical discussion and not something "similar" (scientific and religious discussion, or group therapy).

     Extractions: PHILOSOPHY FOR CHILDREN Philosophy for Children is an educational proposal that makes possible children and teenagers develop their multidimensional thinking, therefore their reasoning abilities, their critical thinking, their creative thinking and their caring thinking. It’s a systematic and progressive program especially designed to be worked with children from 4 till 18 years old in research communities. Considering the children’s interest and the topics that most instigates them, and carried out with methodological work, carefully planned and proved, that recovers their curiosity and wonder, the goal is to develop and stimulate the high order thinking in the community of inquiry. This program takes place in communities where its members work hard in order to be capable of understanding different points of view besides the intent of finding out the meaning of the world and of the society which they live in.

     Extractions: Getting Our Kids Back on Track : Educating Children for the Future by Janine Bempechat A highly readable and practical guide to achieving that delicate balance of academic excellence and high self-esteem, Getting Our Kids Back on Track Back on Track is an excellent starting place for longer dialogues, there are no quick answers to questions like "How much importance am I placing on my children's education relative to other activities in their lives?" and "What do you think are my children's strengths, and how do you think I can encourage their development in those areas?" Still, the stories are warm and humorous, and the book as a whole is encouraging. Jill Lightner "My children spend five hours in school every day. They work very hard while they are there, and believe me, it's stressful. The last thing they need is homework. They need to come home and relax. They have a life outside of school."-Mother of Fourth grade twins

     Extractions: Philosophy is the background of all sciences and all human thinking. Therefore, philosophy is an important part of childhood - children are prephilosophical. This is the reason why it is so crucial to discuss philosophical issues with children in order to help them develop spiritually as a preposition for developing mentally and socially.

     Extractions: Tolerance, Relativism, and the Dangers of Philosophy with Children. A Dilemma. One of the aims of philosophy with children is to make the children more tolerant - at least that was one of our aims in the Swedish project. The methods of doing philosophy with children are deliberately formed to make the children more open to new solutions, to see problems from different angles, to respect their classmates and to appreciate the points of their views. This might easily lead the children to accept the idea that philosophical questions have no true answers that each opinion is of equal value. And this worries me, because I do not believe that it is true. It seems to me as if the children involved in our project initially were trying to conceive philosophy according to the patterns of other school disciplines: there must be ordinary things to learn. Questions could be answered by referring to facts. As time went by they found that this was not the case and they tried to delimit philosophical questions by a tolerance criterion. Philosophical questions are such that they have no given answers. The step from this to the idea that there are no true answers to philosophical questions or that the truth is relative to person is not so long. But if they take this step the kids have gained in tolerance but lost in critical thinking. It is true that they might be able to criticize false authorities and look through pretentious claims to have found the truth. But at the same time they may loose their curiosity: why ask questions which have no true answers (or at least you cannot come to know the true answers)? If several answers are equally good, why bother about the answers? You can just keep to your own prejudices, since each opinion is as good as every other.

     http://www.childrenphilosophy.com/talking.htm
     
     Extractions: Put in modern terms: we are not able to understand our surroundings, if we do not know our inner I. Socrates tried to help youngsters in Athens through his teaching, and they loved him for it. Because he respected these young boys for what they were, and he did not try to push them in any way, and he did not try to give them any final answers. Every single little child is a new human being on this planet - there has never been such a human being before. Thus, it is valuable because of its own subjectivity. Although we are a whole people, a whole democracy, a whole humanity - we are all individualists, and if the single human being does not have the opportunity to develop in its full on its own premises, people, democracy, and humanity will crackle. The world is a unity, because borders exist and different cultures exist. If it were not so, there would be no entire humanity. Thus, difference is a value, a challenge, and an obligation.

     http://www.kinderfilosofie.nl/engels/ephil.html
     
     Extractions: Philosophy for children is aimed at learning to express one's own views of the world and to say why one's thoughts are the way they actually are. The acquisition of these abilities takes place in dialogues. It involves the analysis of one's own thoughts and of the ways they are different from the thoughts of others. What are these questions about? They are about what thinking is, about what life is, whether life is worth living, about how to conduct your life and about what happiness is. In short, about questions we all find meaningful to ask and examine. Philosophy is not a new course. Of these, there are enough.
