The Cause
Philosophy with Children is a movement that has been in existence more or less formally for as long as there have been adults who are interested in children's ideas about the world, about themselves as human subjects, and about the fundamental issues-epistemological, ontological, aesthetic and ethical-which are the common heritage of us all. [more]
