Get To Know: Philosophy by Rachel Poulton

Wrap your head around the tricky topic of philosophy—what it covers, why it’s important, and who the big philosophers are!

Understand the fundamentals of philosophy with this jam-packed guide. The instinct to question is shared by both children and philosophers, and kids start to question the world around them at an early age. From the smallest details to the largest concepts, both children and philosophers approach the world with an inquiring mind and accept little at face value.

Get to know: Philosophy aims to encourage and magnify inquisitiveness. Using engaging thought experiments, real-world examples and allegories, the series covers the cornerstones of philosophical thought in an accessible way, giving readers a contemporary introduction to one of the most ancient subjects, while familiarizing young minds with critical thinking and important patterns of logic. 

Featuring infographics, colorful illustrations, and interactive activities, Get to know: Philosophy is perfect for budding philosophers, and every child who asks the biggest questions.

Rachel Poulton is the author of The Little Book of Philosophy (Summersdale, 2019), and she teaches art and philosophy. Rachel also runs philosophy, photography and zine making workshops in galleries and public spaces around the country. She loves to explore life’s mysteries, and lives in West Sussex, England, with her two curious and wonder-filled children.
