Philosophy for Children come educazione morale = Philosophy for Children as Moral Education

Philosophy for Children is a curriculum and educational strategy created by Matthew Lipman to support children developing a critical, creative, and empathic attitude through the practice of philosophical dialogue within school classes turned into "research communities." Following the interpretation given by Giuseppina D'Addelfio and Maria Vinciguerra, this paper aims to highlight its value for children’s moral education. This exploration gives also the chance to learn more about the educational theory and research method of these two authors, inspired by Antonio Bellingreri’s phenomenologicalhermeneutical pedagogy.
