《儿童哲学国际手册》提供了“关于这个多样化和有争议的领域的各种各样的批评观点,以产生新的讨论,并确定新出现的问题和主题”(xxi)。作为儿童哲学(P4 C)的学术论文集,该卷是一本全面而详细的手册,突出了P4 C自50年前成立以来所走过的路程。这卷书的几种用法浮现在我的脑海中。P4 C的新手最好阅读简明的介绍,它涵盖了P4 C的历史和主题。有经验的从业人员或研究人员可以利用该手册探索该领域的新方向和新想法。学校领导和政策制定者可以参考章节标题,以确定P4 C的用途,将适合他们的特定情况。编辑们已经确定了一个相当明确的P4 C关键问题清单;虽然这些论文没有形成一个有凝聚力的整体,但它们确实是一本有用的手册,让读者了解目前这些问题的一些答案。
The Routledge international handbook of philosophy for children offers ‘a wide variety of critical perspectives on this diverse and controversial field, in order to generate new discussions and to identify emerging questions and themes’ (xxi). As a collection of scholarly papers on Philosophy for Children (P4C), the volume is a thorough and detailed handbook which highlights the distance P4C has travelled since its inception 50 years ago. Several uses of this volume spring to mind. Somebody new to P4C would do well to read the concise introduction which covers the history and thematic strands which shape P4C. Experienced practitioners or researchers could use the handbook to explore new directions and ideas in the field. School leaders and policy makers could refer to the section headings to identify uses of P4C that would pertain to their particular situations. The editors have identified a fairly definitive list of key questions for P4C; while the papers do not form a cohesive whole, they do function as a useful handbook to give readers a taste of some of the answers currently available to these questions.
