Doing Philosophical Psychology: Helping Adolescents Discover Their Place in History
Richard Morehouse
Analytic Teaching and Philosophical Praxis, v40 n1 p48-58 2020
This paper explores one of the elements of doing philosophy with young people. Richard (Mort) Morehouse argues that there is something unique about the ways that some adolescents and young adults struggle with a set of philosophical issues. To explore philosophy with adolescents and young adults is to recognize and to build on some of the questions that are at the surface of, or latent within, their struggle as they enter adulthood. To do philosophy with emerging adults is to recognize and address these questions. These interconnected questions and an exploration of ways to think about them have been explored in Philosophy for millennia and more recently in Psychology.
