Impressions of Training in Philosophy for Children

Abstract

Introduction:  In August of 1987, I attended a three week Institute for the Advancement of Philosophy for Children.  Held in a large house at St. Margarite's Retreat in Mendham, New Jersey.  This yearly workshop is the first leg of the one year MAT program in Philosophy for Children.  There were approximately thirty participants, made up of philosophy professors and visiting foreign students there for the workshop, along with those of us in the program.
