The Philosophical Literary Story as a Model of Critical Thinking
https://doi.org/10.26907/esd.18.1.05
Abstract
This article focuses on a detailed review of philosophical literary stories which represent specific area of the Philosophy for children programme primarily aimed at independent thinking development in education process. The benefits of the programme are characterised within the theoretical basis on the level of critical, creative and caring thinking. The philosophical literary story is a part of fiction. It covers philosophical categories, but it is characterised with simplicity in its theme, as well as content and language part. The role of this type of text lies mainly in motivation toward consequent philosophical discussion in a group called community of inquiry. Through the literary text interpretation method, we demonstrate presence and interconnection among critical thinking categories. At the same time, we discuss the subject type of texts as a specific model for critical thinking level development.
