\n Named a Best Book of 2022 by NPR <\/p>\n

\u201cThis amazing new book . . . takes us on a journey through classic and contemporary philosophy powered by questions like \u2018What do we have the right to do? When is it okay to do this or that?\u2019 They explore punishment and authority and sex and gender and race and the nature of truth and knowledge and the existence of God and the meaning of life and Scott just does an incredible job.\u201d \u2014Ryan Holiday, The Daily Stoic <\/p>\n

Some of the best philosophers in the world gather in surprising places\u2014preschools and playgrounds. They debate questions about metaphysics and morality, even though they\u2019ve never heard those words and can\u2019t tie their shoes. They\u2019re kids. And as University of Michigan professor of philosophy and law Scott Hershovitz shows, they can help grown-ups solve some of life\u2019s greatest mysteries.<\/p>\n

Hershovitz has two young sons, Rex and Hank. From the time they could talk, he noticed that they raised philosophical questions and tried to answer them. They re-created ancient arguments and advanced entirely new ones. That\u2019s not unusual, Hershovitz says. Every kid is a philosopher.<\/p>\n

Powered by questions like: Does Hank have the right to drink soda? Is it ever okay to swear? and, Does the number six exist? the Hershovitzes take us on a fun romp through classic and contemporary philosophy. If we join kids on philosophical adventures, Hershovitz argues, we can become sharper thinkers and recapture their wonder at the world. <\/p>\n
