Philosophy In Schools (Educational Philosophy And Theory)

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.
