What is philosophical about the practice Philosophy for Children
(P4C)? In this open access book, the authors offer a surprising
answer to this question: a practitioner's contemplation of the
potentiality to speak, or what can be called infancy. Although
essential to the experience of language, this most basic and
profound capacity is often taken for granted or simply
instrumentalized for the educational purposes of developing
critical, caring, or creative thinking skills in the name of
democratic citizenship. Against this kind of instrumentalization,
the authors' radical reconceptualization of P4C focuses on the
experience of infancy that can take place through collective
inquiry. The authors' Philosophy for Infancy (P4I) emerges as a
non-instrumental educational practice that does not dictate what to
say or how to say it but rather turns attention to the fact of
speaking. Referencing critical theorist Giorgio Agamben's extensive
work on the theme of infancy, the authors philosophically engage
the core writings of Matthew Lipman and Ann Sharp, foundational
scholars in the P4C tradition, to rediscover this latent
potentiality in the original P4C program that has yet to be
developed. Not only does the book provide a new theoretical basis
for appreciating what is philosophical in Lipman and Sharp's
formulations of P4C, it also provides a unique elucidation of key
concepts in Agamben's work-such as infancy, demand, rules,
adventure, happiness, love, and anarchy-within a collective,
educational practice. Throughout, the authors offer applications of
P4I that will provide anchoring points to inspire educators to
return to philosophical experimentation with language as a means
without end. The ebook editions of this book are available open
