In this sequel  Matthew Lipman examines the impact that elementary school philosophy has had  and may yet have  upon the process of education. Going beyond his earlier work to describe the contribution that training in philosophy can make in the teaching of values  he shows the applications of ethics in civics education and the ways in which aesthetics can be incorporated into areas of the curriculum related to the development of creativity. Making reference to the contemporary educational scene  Lipman compares the K-12 Philosophy for Children curriculum to the many unsatisfactory solutions being offered in our current drive for educational excellence. He addresses the relationship of elementary school philosophy to educational reform in the areas of science  language  social studies  and writing. And he shows how philosophy can be instrumental in the difficult task of teaching values to children while avoiding both ideological indoctrination and mindless relativism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67924154974261,"sku":"ByrdShop_0877225370","price":99.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780877225379.jpg?v=1794129568","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/philosophy-goes-to-school-9780877225379","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
