Etats-Unis d'Amérique : thirty years of philosophical and empirical research in philosophy for children: an overview

Aperçu bibliographique sur trente ans de recherches philosophique et empiriques en Philosophie pour Enfants

Introduction

The bibliography that follows is a selection from thousands of articles, monographs, books and curricular titles in Philosophy for Children that have appeared in English since the founding of the Institute for the Advancement of Philosophy for Children (IAPC) in 1974 at Montclair State College (now University). The selection process has been equally fascinating and painful, given the quality and the diversity of the available materials. The first selection criterion - publication in English - was provided by the editor of this volume, Michel Tozzi.

The second is self-imposed : that the bibliography reflect the geographical, philosophical, and disciplinary diversity of the scholarship produced in this field over the last thirty years. Today there are numerous approaches to this work. The very name "Philosophy for Children" has been replaced in many parts of the world with phrases like "Philosophy with Children," "with Children and Adolescents," "Philosophy in Schools," and even "Philosophy for Everyone." Since, as yet, no theoretical or practical differences distinguish these programs from each other, my use of the original name, and its popular acronym "P4C," in the bibliography categories below is meant to encompass all of them.

The final criterion I have used has been importance relative to space restrictions. I have included works I judge to be foundational and innovative, acknowledging that my judgment is fallible and my knowledge of, and access to relevant publications, unavoidably limited.

I have organized the bibliography into sixteen categories, some of which correspond to canonical branches of Western philosophy and most of which have been used for many years in the P4C world to organize conferences, anthologies, and etc. The remaining categories occurred in the process of my surveying the thousands of titles within my access. Within each category I have organized the publications first by year, then alphabetically by source title and volume number, and finally alphabetically by author. As single works may be relevant to more than one category, there is overlap among the categories. Also, since this is merely a representative bibliography, each section includes only a fraction of the publications relevant to its category. For these reasons, scholars conducting literature reviews should take these sections as points of departure.
