Philosophical Enquiry is an established and evidence-based practice that helps people to think with others and to think for themselves by exploring issues that arise in all areas of education and life experience. Philosophical Enquiry is used to engage communities in primary and secondary schools, community centres, businesses, museums, hospitals and prisons. It is also widely used by educators—including academic philosophers—to support students of all disciplines to discuss the ideas that underpin their
studies while strengthening their intellectual, social and emotional capacities.
WHO ARE THOUGHTFUL?
Thoughtful (previously SAPERE) is the society for philosophical enquiry, we work to ensure that the benefits of a philosophical education are felt as widely and equitably as possible, so everyone gains the skills they need to thrive in learning and life.
