PHILOSOPHY WITH CHILDREN AS A WAY OF DEVELOPMENT OF CRITICAL AND CREATIVE THINKING

Summary/Abstract: The pure meaning of the name philosophy as „love of wisdom“ postulates its purpose of existence through searching, thinking, reasoning about what it really is. It was created from man and on a human scale, philosophy is a beam that illuminates what it has within and outside of it, it is the effort of the human mind to think, develop, and position the world within and around us. When we are called to boldly step onto the path of widsom it is the right time for philosophy. Concers that accompany this question are as old as philosophy itself, while Plato belived that man in maturity should be handled by a philosophical reflection, Epicurus was of a different opinion: „Not in my youth, let no one hesitate to engage in the philosophy and in no age let his philosophy to be a burden.“ On the origin of this Hellenic spirit of philosophy, Matthew Lipman justifies „philosophy with children“ as a way of developing thinking, undrestanding what children think or want to think about themselves and about everything that they are and will be in the world around them.
