Philosophy for Children (originally published in English) introduces philosophical thinking to children. The book is not a textbook of philosophy, rather it tries to introduce the method of philosophy by locating it in the activities that children do or are expected to do in their schooling years. Written in a language that is accessible and free of jargon, the book is equally useful for young adults, teachers and educators and general readers who are interested in knowing the basics of philosophical inquiry.
Printed in four-colour with rich illustrations, we are looking to raise a fund of Rs 2.5 lakhs to make the book available at an affordable price. By supporting us in publishing the Marathi translation of the book, you will help it reach the hands of thousands of Marathi-speaking children and adults.
