Reviews for Thinking Together: Philosophical Enquiry for the Classroom

It's a central theme of this book that we can most profitably nurture good thinking in the classroom by encouraging children to inquire and reason together about things of significance. * The main experience I am concerned with is classroom discussion, where attention is paid to the skills and dispositions of thinking together - to such basic things as asking questions, giving reasons, sticking to the point, being fair-minded, listening to alternative points of view and exploring disagreement. -from the introduction by Philip Cam
