FUN PHILOSOPHY BOOKS FOR YOUNG CHILDREN!
PHILOSOPHY FRIENDS! introduces your child to major philosophical figures and to basic concepts such as fairness, the good, liberty, meaning and more. Each book centers around a great philosopher’s key insight, presented in a playful and accessible way that children love.
PLATO PIG FINDS A RING is an illustrated story inspired by Plato's famous legend of the Ring of Gyges.
Our hero, Plato Pig finds a ring while playing in the mud, but this is no ordinary ring: it grants him the power of invisibility.
Realizing that his friends cannot see him, Plato Pig is confronted with the moral dilemma of using the ring to his advantage—knowing that others will not hold him accountable.
In the end, Plato Pig realizes that doing good is more important than yielding to our appetites, even when we can get away with it!
