The Philosopher-in-Residence

Abstract

Introduction:  If there is a place for philosophy in the elementary and secondary school, is there a place for a full time professor?  In what way can a school (or school system) benefit from the addition of a philosophy specialist in the faculty?  These are questions which, before Philosophy for Children, may have gone unasked.  Yet now, with the acknowledgement that philosophy can have a valuable place in the curriculum, the question is an important one.
