The word ‘understand’ comes from the Latin meaning ‘to grasp’ and is related to the idea of ‘standing between things’ in order to separate them out.

The word philosophy derives from the Greek and means ‘a love of wisdom’. Several decades ago a movement started up in the educational world to encourage schools to teach philosophical thinking to children.

He believed that philosophy shouldn’t just be the province of intellectuals and academics, but should include ordinary people. The aim in mind was of showing them ways to think practically and critically in order that they should live happier and more fulfilling lives. The movement is called P4C – Philosophy for Children. It has evolved in recent years to include adult groups discussing issues in other settings such as libraries, village halls and even pubs, so that P4C now also means Philosophy in the Community.
