| Abstract | Explore 20 of the biggest questions of our day. This book teaches children to think critically in a world which needs young thinkers. Why do I think? What is bias?

Each question is introduced in lively prose before a timeline lays out how different thinkers of the world have approached each question.

Who are we? Why do I think? What is gender? Why do we exist? What happens when we die? What is right and wrong? What is bias? Do I have it? What is freedom? What is an imagination What is memory? Stylish and accessible, it brings philosophy to the next generation in a warm and inclusive way. --Publisher website. |
