Book Review: Tracing the Roots

Abstract

Introduction:  Friendship and Moral Education is not only an historical tour through the birth of Critical Inquiry to the growth of Philosophy for Children, it is also a practical guide for those interested in learning more about the roots of this teaching practice, and for those who wish to implement philosophy into their teaching. There is much debate over whether those who introduce philosophy into their teaching practices or integrate it into the curriculum require a philosophical or an education background. Friendship and Moral Education shows that both backgrounds are imperative to the success of integrating philosophy in education.
