- TAKING STOCK: THE PLACE OF NARRATIVES IN PHILOSOPHICAL EDUCATION Wendy Turgeon Filosofía Fiction Teacher Preparation Philosophical Narrative Philosophical Education Recently fiction has been given a central role in the engagement in philosophical thinking, especially within an educational setting. We find many configurations of this intersection of the narrative and the philosophical and the variances among them need noting if we are to critically examine how each form works. But there remains a troubling question: can fiction really offer up philos ophical ideas without failing as literature and missing the mark as philosophy? While allegories and analogies have a long and fruitful history of elucidating complex philosophical ideas, philosophers have taken pains to differentiate themselves from the c rafter of tales. Philosophers have tended to prefer clear and sustained thinking through rational arguments over imaginative suggestion. Fiction is not philosophy. This paper will explore the different forms that narrative - as - philosophy can take and offer an assessment of the relative merits of these stories as invitations to philosophical thinking. 2015 artículo científico 2525-5061 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=512051494003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5120 Childhood & Philosophy application/pdf Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro Childhood & Philosophy (Brasil) Num.21 Vol.11
