Essential reading for anyone who seeks to prepare active
citizens for the twenty-first century, this long-awaited book
considers Philosophical Inquiry, an empowering teaching method that
can lead to significant improvements in confidence and articulacy,
and produce positive effects in other school activities and in
interactions in the wider world.
Readers are guided through the creation of a Community of
Philosophical Inquiry (CoPI) in the kindergarten, the classrooms of
primary and secondary schools, the community centre and beyond,
with practical ideas to make CoPI work. With examples ranging from
five year old children to underachieving teenagers, and even senior
citizens, the book shows how participation in a CoPI develops:
- the skills of reasoning, critical and creative thinking
- concept formation and judgment
- the virtues of intellectual honesty and bravery.
Including chapters on the theory and development of
Philosophical Inquiry, the creation of a community, and using CoPI
with groups of different ages, this book forms essential reading
for teachers, professionals and community workers.
