Institute for the Advancement of Philosophy for Children
About Thinking
Founded in 1979, Thinking: The Journal of Philosophy for Children is published by the Institute for the Advancement of Philosophy for Children, a non-profit educational institute at Montclair State University.
The journal is a forum for the work of both theorists and practitioners of philosophical practice with children, and publishes such work in all forms, including philosophical argument and reflection, classroom transcripts, curricula, empirical research, and reports from the field. The journal also maintains a tradition in publishing articles in the hermeneutics of childhood, a field of intersecting disciplines including cultural studies, social history, philosophy, art, literature and psychoanalysis.
