儿童哲学:一种基于“关心”的教育

Philosophy for Children:A Care-Based Education

儿童哲学对于培养儿童批判性思考能力的工具性价值是毋庸置疑的,但其原初意义上对于儿童的"关心"更值得重视。以诺丁斯的关心伦理学作为引导来表明儿童哲学并非仅仅是一项"批判性思维教育"的项目。当哲学为儿童创造了一个充满游戏性和创造性的对话空间,成人与儿童在哲学探究活动中一起重拾对世界的"关心"时,儿童哲学更应该是一种基于"关心"的教育。

There is no doubt about the instrumental value of Philosophy for Children in cultivating children＇s critical thinking ability,but its original concern for children is more worthy of attention. Following ideas of Nel Nodding＇s care ethics,I draw attention to show that Philosophy for Children is not merely a ＂critical thinking＂project. When philosophy creates a playful and creative thinking space for children,adults and children are trying to regain the care for the world in philosophical inquiry activities. Philosophy for Children should be essentially called a kind of Education which is based on ＂care＂.
