Sažetak
Philosophy with Children is a contemporary philosophical discipline which goal is to ‘learn to think’ children from early childhood. Philosophy with Children is going, it can be said, according to Dewey, to train (learn) quality thinking in children. Philosophy with children is not an academic philosophy ; this is a living philosophy and philosophizing in which the teacher (philosopher) tries to discuss with children about daily subjects with knowledge of formal and informal logic. The child's curiosity, courage to join a new, countless children's issues (which are part of the issues we can find in "serious" philosophers), and children's daily experience are the foundations on which all the quality programs of philosophy with children is based. In this paper, I will show examples of workshops from two different approaches in philosophy for children. The first approach is the most famous, from the founder of Philosophy for Children Matthew Lipman. Second approach is the approach that has been developed by the Association „Petit philosophy„ in their project »Take a look in your own thinking«. The evaluation from these workshops will show how these workshops really motivate children to think and motivate them to actively engage in reasoned debate. In this paper there will be shown the importance of the method of philosophy with children in motivation of children, and how philosophy with children can motivate students to learn other school subjects.
