Description

This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. What is philosophical about the practice Philosophy for Children (P4C)? In this book, the authors offer a surprising answer to this question: a practitioner’s contemplation of the potentiality to speak, or what can be called infancy. Although essential to the experience of language, this most basic and profound capacity is often taken for granted or simply instrumentalized for the educational purposes of developing critical, caring, or creative thinking skills in the name of democratic citizenship. Against this kind of instrumentalization, the authors’ radical reconceptualization of P4C focuses on the experience of infancy that can take place through collective inquiry. The authors’ Philosophy for Infancy (P4I) emerges as a non-instrumental educational practice that does not dictate what to say or how to say it but rather turns attention to the fact of speaking. Referencing critical theorist Giorgio Agamben’s extensive work on the theme of infancy, the authors philosophically engage the core writings of Matthew Lipman and Ann Sharp, foundational scholars in the P4C tradition, to rediscover this latent potentiality in the original P4C program that has yet to be developed. Not only does the book provide a new theoretical basis for appreciating what is philosophical in Lipman and Sharp’s formulations of P4C, it also provides a unique elucidation of key concepts in Agamben’s work―such as infancy, demand, rules, adventure, happiness, love, and anarchy―within a collective, educational practice. Throughout, the authors offer applications of P4I that will provide anchoring points to inspire educators to return to philosophical experimentation with language as a means without end. Review "[This book] is an extraordinary philosophical and educational adventure: one that does not promise easy paths and methods but unexpected questions and readings that expand the meaning and sense of doing philosophy with children and show its intrinsically and unavoidably paradoxical nature." --Walter Omar Kohan, Full Professor, State University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil"The P4C approach would be unfaithful to itself if it ceased to rethink itself. It is precisely in this endeavor that Lewis and Jasinski usher us, by creatively deploying concepts from Agamben and, thereby, challenging canonical views and offering fresh insights, supported by superb philosophical knowledge and refined educational tact." --Stefano Oliverio, Associate Professor and former Vice-President of the International Council of Philosophical Inquiry with Children, University of Naples Federico II, Italy About the Author Tyson E. Lewis is Professor of Art Education in the College of Visual Arts and Design at the University of North Texas, USA. Igor Jasinski is German and Philosophy teacher at the Pingry School, New Jersey, USA.
