Media and Moral Education demonstrates that the study of philosophy
can be used to enhance critical thinking skills, which are sorely
needed in today's technological age. It addresses the current
oversight of the educational environment not keeping pace with
rapid advances in technology, despite the fact that educating
students to engage critically and compassionately with others via
online media is of the utmost importance. D'Olimpio claims that
philosophical thinking skills support the adoption of an attitude
she calls critical perspectivism, which she applies in the book to
international multimedia examples. The author also suggests that
the Community of Inquiry - a pedagogy practised by advocates of
Philosophy for Children - creates a space in which participants can
practise being critically perspectival, and can be conducted with
all age levels in a classroom or public setting, making it
beneficial in shaping democratic and discerning citizens. This book
will be of interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate
students in the areas of philosophy of education, philosophy,
education, critical theory and communication, film and media
studies.
