儿童能学哲学吗?那些抽象的哲学名词儿童能理解吗?如果以儿童所熟悉的、与儿童生活有联系的生动的事例为内容,用哲学来帮助儿童变得更善于思考,是能够做到的。美国一些学校进行了儿童哲学启蒙教学的实验,出版了《儿童哲学》的小册子和儿童哲学小说,主要是促进儿童逻辑地思考问题和说话,取得了比较显著的效果。这里摘译的是美国儿童哲学小说《哈里的发现》中的第一章,供年轻父母们参阅。其实,我国有不少寓言和童话非常富有哲理,我国儿童生活中也有不少有趣的富有哲理性和逻辑性的生动事例。我们的教师和父母们是否也可以利用这些内容,在愉快的气氛中与孩子进行一些哲理性的讨论呢?而且,我们的儿童哲学启蒙应该是为儿童未来的辩证唯物主义的世界观和方法论的形成和发展打点儿基础,这也应该是我国儿童教育的一个特色吧! ——译者 Can children learn philosophy? What abstract philosophical nouns children can understand? If philosophy is used to help children become more pondering over the vivid examples of children's familiar connections with children's lives, it is possible to do of. Some schools in the United States conducted experiments in the teaching of children's philosophy and enlightened teaching. They published a booklet on children's philosophy and a children's philosophy novel, mainly to promote children's thinking and questioning logically, and achieved remarkable results. The first chapter in Harry's Discovery, a philosophical novel for children in the United States, is abstracted here for young parents to read. In fact, there are many fables and fairy tales in our country that are very rich in philosophy. There are many interesting and philosophical and logical vivid examples in our children's lives. Can our teachers and parents use the content to engage in some philosophical discussions with their children in a pleasant atmosphere? Moreover, our enlightenment in children's philosophy should be the formation of a dialectical materialistic worldview and methodology for children's future And develop the basis for children's education, this should also be a feature of our country's children's education!
