Philosophy with Teenagers Nurturing a moral imagination for the 21st century

Philosophy With Teenagers offers a clear introduction to the theory and practice of the Community of Philosophical Enquiry (P4C). This book explains how P4C can facilitate young people's exploration of key ethical concerns of our time, such as sustainability, justice and intercultural and interfaith understanding. It considers why exploring such issues philosophically with their peers can help young people with the process of growing up into confident individuals and responsible citizens. The book also discusses the significance of philosophical enquiry in the 21st century classroom.
