</P><BLOCKQUOTE><I>"[This] volume goes a long way toward enriching the philosophical knowledge of the typical Philosophy for Children teacher, and will constitute an important and useful contribution...a kind of new generation of service to the magnificent goal of making philosophy available to young children in a school setting."</I>
<br>—<b>Robert J. Mulvaney</b>, University of South Carolina<I></I></BLOCKQUOTE>
<p><I>Harry Stottlemeier's Discovery</I>, created by Matthew Lipman in 1969, is now a widely used and highly successful tool for teaching philosophy to children. As the original novel of the Philosophy for Children program, its goal is to present major ideas in the history of philosophy, nurturing children's ability to think for themselves. At present, it is taught in 5,000 schools in the United States and has been translated into eighteen languages worldwide. This collection of essays reflects upon the development, refinement, and maturation of Philosophy for Children and on its relationship to the tradition of philosophy itself.
<p>The contributors are philosophers themselves who have taught from Lipman's novels or conducted workshops instructing elementary school teachers on how most effectively to utilize the program in their classrooms. Teaching <I>Harry</I> raises philosophical issues concerning such concepts as authority, morality, religion, justice, truth, knowledge, beauty, and goodness. Gracing each article with personal experience, the authors recount their own struggles against the claims of philosophers and psychologists who have previously underestimated children's moral capability because of their lack of political and social experience.
