  • Matthew Lipman and Ann Margaret Sharp : philosophy for children's educational revolution
    Franzini Tibaldeo, Roberto
    This book explores the contribution to education contained in the theoretical work and teaching practice of Matthew Lipman (1923-2010) and Ann Margaret Sharp (1942-2010). Their long-lasting ... cooperation gave rise to the well-known Philosophy for Children (P4C) curriculum, which is nowadays globally widespread. P4C basically relies on the following innovations: firstly, the unprecedented connection between philosophy and childhood; secondly, the reframing of philosophy in practical, viz., not reductively theoretical terms; thirdly, the employment of philosophy to foster democracy and moral capabilities through the development of childrens thoughtfulness and autonomous thinking, which would eventually result in empowering childrens social abilities and increasing their self-defence against consumerism, propaganda, and manipulation; finally, the stand against a strictly cognitivist approach to education. More than just contextualizing these innovations in the coeval historical and social context, the author shows that P4Cs revolutionary stance on education relies on the fruitfulness of Lipman and Sharps intellectual cooperation and on their manifold abilities as researchers, teachers, trainers, communicators, motivators, and community-builders. The book analyzes their philosophical-educational vision and the scholastic curriculum they developed jointly; additionally, it provides a critical appraisal of P4Cs achievements as well as of its future perspectives
