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. The book's lively approach is designed to encourage children to start thinking for themselves and to show them that anyone be a philosopher. Review: Best children's philosophy book - I was looking for a book like this for ages and bought a few that I was disappointed in. This one is great - I read it regularly with my daughter (7) and it is accessible, yet covers a lot of philosophy and is as interesting for adults too. I'm not sure how she would get along reading it alone though, but I wanted one that we could read together anyway. Review: Children's Book of Western Philosophy - - Excellent book for children without patronising them or becoming childish. But the usual Western world view in starting the book with a sentence saying something like "philosophy and the first philosophers started in Greece", as if there were no Chinese thinkers, Indian thinkers or any other before or around that time - oh come on, grow up - the book does refer to Buddha in one page, and a picture of Shiva at another - OK Ok I forgive you - but how many times I should keep on doing that - anyway, the book with its text and pictures and information and smell is excellently recommended. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 36 months ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 212,472 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 62 in Children's Books on Philosophy 95 in Introduction to Philosophy 1,099 in Children's Reference Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 182 Reviews | ## Images ![Children's Book of Philosophy: An Introduction to the World's Greatest Thinkers and their Big Ideas - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/915xlh7pGrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best children's philosophy book *by B***E on 7 July 2019* I was looking for a book like this for ages and bought a few that I was disappointed in.

Perhaps better for slightly older children but has helped me lots when my daughter asks big life questions. It's quite an interesting read for grown ups too! ## Frequently Bought Together - Children's Book of Philosophy: An Introduction to the World's Greatest Thinkers a - Usborne Philosophy for Beginners - PENGUIN Philosophy: A Visual Encyclopedia --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/48738252-childrens-book-of-philosophy-an-introduction-to-the-worlds-greatest](https://www.desertcart.us/products/48738252-childrens-book-of-philosophy-an-introduction-to-the-worlds-greatest) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-12*
