CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS

Integrating Dialogic Inquiry and Democracy in Education - Cultivating Reasonableness

(Springer)

“Integrating Dialogic Inquiry and Democracy in Education – Cultivating Reasonableness” is a work that will focus on the real-world application of the Philosophy for/with Children (P4wC) pedagogy in developing reasonableness in individuals through communities of inquiry. This book will be a collection not only of theories but, more importantly, of experiences, discoveries, and innovations employed by P4wC scholars, trainers, and practitioners to transform the concepts and principles developed by Matthew Lipman and Ann Margaret Sharp and enriched by its advocates for the past half a century into an effective pedagogical practice. This collection will draw from the practices of various individuals around the world, making it a comprehensive text available to anyone who wishes to bring the P4wC inside their communities, schools, and classrooms.

Since it is often mistaken, largely due to its name, that P4wC is only applicable to children, this book will also look into how the approach is practiced with adults and how it can be applied in numerous settings such as in courts of justice, parliaments, and governing or regulatory boards, among others. Thus, one important feature of this collection are the discussions on how this democratic pedagogy can be integrated into the teaching and application of various subject areas such as science, mathematics, information technology, business, social sciences, public administration, and health research, to name a few.

In the humble pages of this book, readers will find invaluable information about how reasonableness that is cultivated through a democratic dialogic inquiry can be a powerful tool for nation-building.

The editors wish to invite interested authors to submit their papers focusing on Philosophy for Children, Reasonableness, and Nation-Building; Creating Communities of Inquiry in Subject Areas; Dialogic Inquiry Across Cultures; Assessment Strategies for COI; and P4wC Outside the Classroom. In particular, prospective authors are invited to submit chapter proposals on:
