Transformative Environmental Philosophy in a Learning Organization for children, teachers, and parents

Summary/Abstract: Children today face a different reality from those a few years ago. Environmental changes are being very transparent because of the rapid transmission of information on one hand and the direct access that most people are entitled to from various sources on the other hand. However, it is vital for the current and future democracy, of citizens of all generations, to be able to filter, distinguish, critically reflect, and further communicate the ethical concerns of human actions especially regarding the environment and our responsibilities to it. Considering the duty of the human community to prepare the younger people and to transform the perceptions of the older ones, philosophical inquiry and reinforcing critical thinking within the school and home through reflective dialogue is suggested through Philosophy for Parents (P4P), for the purpose of bridging a now widely recognized gap in communication and collaboration between parents and teachers, and hence in potential educational efficacy.
