Title: Teaching Philosophy and Doing Philosophy in the Space of Play
Abstract: Introduction: Dear friends, I am a professor of and have been more than 30 years. In 1992, I started to do with children using my own methods. I had known nothing about Lipman's curriculum. I based my method only on my university experience and philosophical education, trying to do something unofficial and useful for children. That's how Philosophical Games for children and adults appeared. It was my first program in with children. When I discovered Lipman's work and the world practice in P4C, I was surprised by the very similar points of our programs despite some differences. I started to use Lipman's term, philosophy as opposed to teaching philosophy. The differences and similarities between both of these pedagogical practices became clear to me as I worked with university students and with children. What's the basic platform of deference between doing and philosophy? I believe that it is the difference between the philosophical styles of Socrates and Plato. I will try to make that argument in what is to follow.
