Lisa: Reasoning in Ethics

Philosophy for Children

by Matthew Lipman

Lisa, a classmate of Harry Stottlemeier, experiences a range of physical, aesthetic and ethical awakenings as she puzzles over issues of animal rights, sexism, racism, justice, divorce and death with her classmates. As Lisa and her friends begin to recognize the ethical dimensions of their experience, they delve into the philosophical concepts as the right, the fair, the good, perfection, and naturalism. Lisa's struggles with identity and thinking for oneself leads her to recognize her interdependence with others and with nature. This novel explores the complexity of ethical concerns and the multiple capacities involved in making sound ethical judgments. Grade 7-12. Target 7-8

Un très bon livre pour introduire la philosophie à un vieil enfant/jeune adolescent !

Plusieurs sujets propres à l'existence humaine comme la justice, l'amour, la mort, l'amitié, l'âge…
Ses sujets sont abordés de manière curieuse au travers d’une belle histoire.

Le point clé qui rend le livre bon pour introduction à la philo est surtout qu’on peut lire les différents personnages s'entretenir sur ces sujets et se poser des questions.
