ANALYTIC TEACHING AND PHILOSOPHICAL PRAXIS Volume 39, Issue 2 (2019) 

 

Editor’s Welcome 

 
The five articles that make up the second issue of volume 

39 focus largely on either suggesting helpful ways of 
implementing  Philosophy for Children (P4C), or 
identifying  challenges with the Community of Inquiry 
(CoI), with one article that looks at the larger educational 
value of a philosophical education in cultivating a more 
responsible sense of tolerance.   

  
     The first article by Gardner, Anderson and Henry 
explores the difficult problem of how one reasons with 
people who simply refuse to be reasonable or even listen to 
what others have to say on a subject. The second piece by 
daVenza Tillmanns provides some helpful examples of how 
to use picture books to stimulate philosophical thinking, 
while the third article by Anderson looks at the value of role-
playing games in enhancing P4C. The fourth article by 
Tiedemann transitions away from the P4C/CoI community 
to look at larger challenges involving the cultivation of 
tolerance in schools, especially from the standpoint of the 
European school system. The final article by Zuidland is a 
personal testament to the power of Ann Sharp to inspire us, 
as she offers an overview and reflection on Gregory and 
Laverty’s recent anthology, In Community of Inquiry with Ann 
Margaret Sharp.       

   
Together, the five articles take up a variety of issues that 

either provide advice on how to meet the challenges of 
facilitating communal inquiries, or engage some of the 
fundamental assumptions that underscore the purpose of 
CoI and the integration of philosophy in education.    

  
I hope the current volume finds you all doing well and 

engaged in a project you love.
