Children ages 8-11 are invited to the West Valley Branch Library to explore philosophical topics using children’s literature. The purpose of each session will be to explore a “big,” philosophical idea (such as, “what is bravery?” or “what is the nature of knowledge?”) and help participants gain some of the critical thinking skills employed by philosophers when investigating philosophical topics. No attempt will be made to persuade participants to adopt any particular viewpoint on the topics under discussion. Rather, the program’s focus will be on asking questions to encourage independent, critical thinking. Free. Pre-registration is required.
Please observe our Safety Guidelines.
