Children Philosophize Worldwide
Philosophizing for, with, and by children in a community of inquiry has proven to be an internationally successful learning strategy that enhances both the cognitive and emotional growth of children. Pioneering democratic programs for philosophizing with children now exist throughout the world. The work described in this book represents the latest research on theoretical concepts and applied projects within this field and brings together contributions from twenty-nine countries, representing all continents. The authors address questions on the theoretical foundation of Philosophy for Children, the application of philosophical methods, the community of inquiry, international and national didactical concepts as well as the evaluation of those concepts. A primary goal of this book is to enhance intercultural academic exchange and to encourage further research and practical work in this field.
Hovering over the face of the deep
'Why does everyone need to die?', 'Does my hamster have a soul?' Theologians and philosophers have always wrestled with such questions. The articles gathered in this book - which represent recent educational approaches to philosophizing and theologizing with children - are very diverse in approach and emphasis. Nevertheless all underline the importance of supporting children and young people in their efforts to discuss questions of meaning. Quotations in the articles capture with vividness and immediacy their intense engagement with the puzzles of existence. Educators may learn better to support such processes, and by the same token be enriched by the interaction. Such processes resemble the phenomenon of the Black Sun where starlings get together from different directions in large flocks in order to survive the night. Both, as indicated in the title of this book are hovering over the face of the deep. This book offers a meeting place for theologians and philosophers, and although the conversation does a great deal to clarify their relationship, differences in opinion remain. Its contributors are from Denmark, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Children's voices
The third meeting of the European network of children’s theology took place in April 2013 in Trondheim, Norway. Sturla Sagberg organised this meeting with great care and commitment, and intended to publish the contributions to the conference in a book to make them accessible to the wider public. The approach of children’s theology has been specified and differentiated over the course of the last ten years. This book provides insight into the process and results of different European and North American research projects. As the practice of children’s theology is linked to the “great questions”, which are equally raised by children’s philosophy, the range of topics of both the conference and this book are marked by the terms children’s theology, children’s philosophy and spirituality.
Ascent
Rendered quadriplegic at 22, aspiring Air Force pilot McGhie writes a straight-forward, compelling autobiography of the challenges, disappointments and successes of his life. Now in his sevenites, McGhie has been CEO of his own company and is also a certified glider pilot, father, artist and photographer. The book shows how those with disabiling injuries can live productive lives on equal terms with those without disability - and in some cases accomplish even more.
Gender Issues and Philosophy Education
With this volume a gap in the philosophical didactics is closed. A historical section initially introduces authors who have determined the gender discourse and at the same time a critical discussion. This is followed by an overview of sexual and gender diversity, its basics and differentiations. Theoretical papers then deal with the relevance of gender research for the self-understanding of philosophical education. Finally, practice-specific contributions demonstrate how topics and aspects of the gender problem can be prepared for different age groups and school types. With 2 lesson plans.

Kinder als Akteure nachhaltiger Entwicklung
Was bewegt Kindergartenkinder, wenn sie an die Zukunft denken? Anhand kinderphilosophischer Gespräche zum Verhältnis der Menschen zueinander und zu Sichtweisen auf Natur und deren Bedeutung rekonstruiert Barbara Benoist-Kosler, wie Kinder sich zu ‚nachhaltiger Entwicklung‘ positionieren und als Akteure wirken. Zudem zeichnet sie nach, wie Kinder miteinander ins Gespräch kommen und eigene Praktiken entwickeln, ihre Sichtweisen zu teilen.
