What is philosophy?

Reviews / Votes

Lancashire Evening Post - If you want to encourage your little ones to start engaging with big ideas, this perfectly pitched Little Book, Big Idea series has some resonant questions and answers. The first book in the series tackles philosophy and asks questions like what does it mean to be human, what is truth, what is good, what makes us happy and what is knowledge?; Teacher Reader - Whether you're an aspiring philosopher or just curious about the world around you, this book and this series sound like the perfect introduction to the world and will inspire you to keep asking questions and seeking answers throughout your life.; V's View From The Bookshelves - I love the effort that has been put into ensuring that all children will be able to recognise themselves in this book, and the range of questions and answers are likely to satisfy the most curious young reader. My particular favourite page poses the question, "what should I say?" and is filled with answers which encourage kindness and thoughtfulness when choosing which words to use. With a clear and comprehensive glossary at the back, this is a beautifully produced non-fiction book which I would highly recommend to any primary school library, Key Stage One classroom or home containing inquisitive children.;
