Workshop for kids and teens ages 8 to 11
With Dr. Hans-Bernhard Petermann
The title says it all: This workshop revolves around
the exciting activity of philosophical thinking.
And not just to get to know some of history's great
minds, either. Thinking like a philosopher means,
above all, learning to think for yourself. And that can
be done on four different levels: through differentiated
and reflective perceptual thinking, emotional thinking,
rational thinking, and active thinking. And the best
part is that even elementary school-age children are
capable of such reflective thinking and should be
trained in it. This is how they learn to think for
themselves in their respective personal lives, to think
through dialog and debate, to think in ways that clarify
concepts, and to think soundly in a way that is ignited
by concrete real-life experiences. The course
instructor, Dr. Hans-Bernhard Petermann, is a true
professional: he is a philosopher and has decades
of experience in philosophical science and in
teaching children, adolescents, and students.
