It demonstrates how we can think of pedagogy and educational practices in early childhood as artistic, poetic, and philosophical, and exemplifies a humanities-based approach by giving literature and artful play a place in shaping the ground of practice and research. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book explores a range of alternative approaches to theory in education and the feasibility of a curriculum of moral values for young children and contains a variety of scenes involving childrenâs play and involvement with literature and fiction. It portrays how engaging with childrenâs play can be a philosophical and pedagogical investigation where childrenâs own philosophising is taken seriously, where childrenâs thoughts are put on a par with established research and philosophy. Moreover, the book engages with a range of different forms of literature â picture books, novels, auto-fiction, poetry â and develops these as portrayals that serve as a basis for non-theoretical and poetic pedagogical research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLiterature and Philosophical Play in Early Childhood Education will be of great interest to academics, researchers, and post-graduate students in the fields of philosophy and education.
