What’s New?

in Announcements, Kids' Philosophy by amyleask on August 10th, 2011No Comments

We’ve been busy little bees at kidsthinkaboutit.com, our sister site.   The site itself has been given a much-needed facelift, and now features even more resources and links, as well as our Philosophy for Kids blog.  We’re also proud to offer three publications on the site, including two philosophy books for children, as well as one on robots!  An environmental philosophy book is due out in the next few weeks, and a book on art and beauty is in the works.

We look forward to your visit!
