Children are, in many ways, born philosophers. Without prompting, they ask some of the largest questions: about time, mortality, happiness and the meaning of it all. Yet sadly, too often, this inborn curiosity is not developed and the questions fall away as they grow up.
Big Ideas for Curious Minds is designed to harness children’s spontaneous philosophical instincts and develop them through introductions to some of history's most vibrant and essential philosophical ideas. The book takes us to meet leading figures of philosophy from around the world and from all eras – and shows us how their ideas continue to matter.
