Royal Institute of Philosophy: Peter Worley: Who can do Philosophy for Children?

Peter Worley gives an in-person lecture exploring the question of who can do philosophy for children, and how children, teachers and philosophers might engage with philosophical enquiry. The talk revisits his first published paper from Think and reflects on how his views have developed over more than two decades of teaching, writing and thinking about the subject.

The lecture considers where philosophy with children stands now, where it might go next, and what challenges arise when encouraging deeper thinking in educational settings. It is suitable for anyone interested in philosophy, dialogue, and inquiry-based learning, and takes place at Senate House in London as a two-hour evening event.
