![]() ![]() This article presents a tool of literary analysis developed by the author as an alternative to existing possible world theories (PWT). This chapter is published in The Palgrave International Handbook of Alternative Education (2016) edited by Helen E. This chapter proposes that the community of philosophical enquiry is a radical proposal for education through such imaginative democratic engagement. Through a series of examples of picturebooks, framed as philosophical texts, notions of transgressive, ageless and playful philosophy are introduced. It explores the discussions about both childhood and philosophy that have taken place in the light of P4C. This chapter considers the narrative philosophising and collaborative dialogue in the community of enquiry that characterise P4C, whether practised with children or other contexts. Its theory and practice have been hotly debated. This approach has grown in popularity around the world since Lipman and others launched the Philosophy for Children Programme over forty years ago. This chapter offers a critical account of Philosophy for and with Children (P4C). ![]()
