О книге: Taking Picture Books Seriously: What can we learn about philosophy through childrens books? This warm and charming volume casts a spell on adult readers as it unveils the surprisingly profound philosophical wisdom contained in childrens picture books, from Dr Seusss Sneetches to William Steigs Shrek!. With a light touch and good humor, Wartenberg discusses the philosophical ideas in these classic stories, and provides parents with a practical starting point for discussing philosophical issues with their children. Accessible and multi-layered, it answers questions like, Is it okay for adults to deceive kids? Whats the difference between saying the Mona Lisa is a great painting and vanilla is your favorite flavor? Each chapter includes illustrations commissioned especially for this book.
