ABSTRACT
The creator of the Philosophy for Children (P4C) programme, Matthew Lipman, suggests that children are able to mobilize critical thinking (CT), particularly when they are stimulated in this direction through P4C programme, and that they should be encouraged to do so as soon as they start school (Lipman, Sharp & Oscanyan, 1980). From this perspective P4C is a very useful pedagogy that contributes to improving the quality of education (Lipman, 1995, 2005). CT is one component of reasoning activity, and combines fruitfully with logical and creative thinking, and with caring attitudes to stimulate meaningful thinking about the world, as proposed in the P4C programme (Lipman, 1995).
