Abstract

Psychological, philosophical and pedagogical grounds for designing a new educational program "Philosophy for Children" are given. The authors, based on numerous studies, refute the opinion that the peculiarities of thinking and the entire mental organization of children do not allow them to master the content of philosophy, and provide evidence that children aged 6-7 years are most sensitive to staging and solving philosophical problems. The essence of the concept of "children's spontaneous philosophical ideas" is considered. The authors of the program believe that the study of philosophy by younger students is necessary, as it will overcome the age crisis, subjugate their own mental strength, and gain arbitrariness.
