Does philosophy matter? How to philosophize effectively?

Scott, a professor of law and a professor of philosophy at the University of Michigan, wrote the book - ‘Nasty, Brutish and Short' to help parents and kids explore philosophy and tackle some of life's biggest questions together.Father of two boys, Scott, began telling his students at university stories about something his first son had done at home, and asked them how he should respond. Scott was surprised by the frequency with which his sons raised the sorts of questions that he could discuss with his philosophy and law students.It turns out that kids are naturally very good at philosophy.When somebody's excited about something don't shut them down.Help them to think things through, don't tell them how to think.In this interview Scott invites us to appreciate a wonderful and fun aspect of parenting that we might otherwise overlook.Here are some of my take-aways:Kids are naturally good at philosophy because between the ages of about 3 to 8 they are not afraid to ask questions or appear silly. This is a prime time to be exploring philosophy with them.Complaints can be a great place to begin. If you child says something is unfair you can try:* What does it mean to say something is unfair?* What would make this fair?* Is it a parent's job to make sure everything comes out exactly fair?* Is there ever unfairness that works out in your favour and I should be undoing that?Otherwise, if you're wondering about something, try talking to your kids about it. Say, I'm confused about this? Get them involved, and be genuinely interested in their point of view.Another thing you can try is visit the Prindle Institute for Ethics which has some great resources to download which help explore the philosophical aspects of well-known children's books.Most importantly, you can find Scott's book Nasty, Brutish and Short here.I hope you enjoy this chat with Scott.If you'd like to get in touch with Scott his Twitter handle is: @shershovitzYou can visit his website here.The Prindle Institute for Ethics, mentioned in the interview, can be found here.

Scott Hershovitz talks about his new book, Nasty, Brutish, and Short, in which he discusses philosophy with his children. Scott Hershovtiz is a professor of law and philosophy at the University of Michigan and former law clerk to Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Scott's new book, Nasty, Brutish, and Short, is a “romp through contemporary philosophy” led by his two young sons as they discuss ancient arguments, and ask their own questions.  During the interview, Scott describes a conversation he had with his son, and how that influenced his book:  “My son, when he was four years old, he went to the Jewish Community Center preschool, so he would learn about God and he'd learn about various aspects of Jewish religion. He had a lot of questions, and he would frequently ask if God was real. One night I was cooking dinner and he said, ‘Is God real?' And I said, ‘Well, what do you think, buddy?' He said, ‘I think that for real God is pretend and for pretend, God is real.' I was just stunned by that. It was such a complicated thought. I said, ‘What do you mean?' He said, ‘I think that God isn't real, but when we pretend, he is.'”  You can find Scott on Twitter at @shershovitz. To learn more about Scott and his work, visit scotthershovitz.com.

In this episode, we discuss the strange creatures known as children. Scott Hershovitz is a professor of philosophy and law at the University of Michigan and the author of Nasty, Brutish, and Short: Adventures in Philosophy With My Kids, which chronicles (hilariously) his philosophical conversations with his sons Rex and Hank. The book is a great primer on some basic philosophical questions for adult readers, but it also shows that children are more profound philosophers than they are often assumed to be. Because the world is unfamiliar to them, every child is a little Socrates, asking authority figures to justify their beliefs. The child's relentless query of "Why?" is a demand that knowledge be justified, and Hershovitz encourages us to take children's philosophical questions seriously. He also believes that philosophy ought to be taught much earlier than college, because it helps cultivate useful critical thinking skills. Today, we discuss how the "chaos muppets" that are children can actually be uncommonly profound. Here is Scott's New York Times article "How To Pray To A God You Don't Believe In," which discusses his son's unique perspective on how God is both "pretend" and "real."The image above is from a video of a child solving the "trolley problem."

“Mommy, I don't know what red looks like to you.” That's the first philosophical puzzle that Scott Hershovitz says he remembers putting to his befuddled parents. And it's children's observations like those that Hershovitz, now a full-grown philosophy professor, says that parents need to nurture and take seriously. We'll talk to Hershovitz about why young kids, unencumbered by received wisdom about the universe, make excellent philosophers and how childlike thinking can teach all of us to better grapple with the mysteries of human existence. Hershovitz's new book is "Nasty, Brutish, and Short: Adventures in Philosophy with My Kids."
