Big ideas for curious minds
A Philosophical Introduction for Inquisitive Young Minds
In many ways, children are born philosophers. They ask some of the most profound questions without prompting: about time, mortality, happiness, and the purpose of it all.
Unfortunately, too frequently, this natural curiosity is not nurtured, and the inquiries go away as they get older.
Big Ideas for Curious Minds is a book that aims to harness and enhance children's natural philosophical instincts by introducing them to some of history's most dynamic and important philosophical ideas. The book introduces us to famous philosophers from all around the world and from all ages, and demonstrates how their ideas are still relevant today.
The book is jam-packed with exercises and stunning graphics that vividly bring the concepts of great philosophers to life. Recommended for inquiring minds aged 9 and up.
