Philosophy, Critical Thinking and Philosophy for Children
Résumé
For centuries, philosophy has been considered as an intellectual activity requiring complex
cognitive skills and predispositions related to complex (or critical) thinking. The Philosophy
for Children (P4C) approach aims at the development of critical thinking in pupils through
philosophical dialogue. Some contest the introduction of P4C in the classroom, suggesting
that the discussions it fosters are not philosophical in essence. In this text, we argue that
P4C is philosophy.
