About this listen
This audiobook explains philosophy to kids in an easy-to-understand way.
It is the perfect introduction to the great thinkers who, from ancient times to the modern day, have tried to make sense of the world by asking questions such as: "Who am I?", "Is the world real?", "Is it ever right to tell a lie?". Meet Socrates and Confucius, Kant and Sartre, and many others who have studied and pondered on the complexities of everyday life.
Looking at the major philosophical theories, The Children's Book of Philosophy brings big ideas within the reach of young minds. It examines the problems that have puzzled people for hundreds, or even thousands, of years, working through them in clear and logical stages. This also covers current social and environmental issues as well as concerns surrounding the latest advances in technology.
The audiobook's lively approach is designed to encourage children to think for themselves and to show them that anyone can be a philosopher.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,703
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 19
Eleven-year-old Kemi Carter loves scientific facts, specifically probability. It's how she understands the world and her place in it. Kemi knows her odds of being born were 1 in 5.5 trillion, and that the odds of her having the best family ever were even lower. Yet somehow, Kemi lucked out. But everything Kemi thought she knew changes when she sees an asteroid hover in the sky, casting a purple haze over her world. Amplus-68 has an 84.7% chance of colliding with earth in four days, and with that collision, Kemi’s life as she knows it will end.
