Abstract:Philosophy for children presents itself as a relatively independent subject or program in school. In response to the “subject-oriented” tendency of philosophy for children, proponents defend it by justifying its foundation of children's learning, educational values, curriculum and teaching faculty and so on, while the defense also faces the challenges in making philosophy for children to be instrumental, specialized, comprehensive and structuralized. In order to overcome these challenges and reveal the true value of philosophy for children, we should transform philosophy for children from a subject to an approach that shows respect for children, encourages them to explore ideas, enhances the subjects teaching and learning, and even reconstructs school education.
