It is common knowledge that children often ask deep questions, questions not only about what or how but about why, questions about things that adults sometimes learn to stop noticing. Children are natural philosophers but where do they find an outlet for their philosophical leanings? Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Wittgenstein and Sartre operated with language beyond their reach, beyond the reach of most adults for that matter. Where can the philosophical child turn for answers and, more importantly, for more questions? The secret, children soon learn, lies in stories. What kind of stories you love is the key to what kind of person you are—curious or dull, wild or tame, a philosopher or a dogmatist—the signs are all there in the stories. This blog is for grown-ups who have never stopped loving stories and have never stopped asking deep questions.
