Abstract
This chapter offers a philosophical questioning of the way p4c has traditionally conceptualized philosophy and the educational relationship that it presumes to cultivate between philosophy and children. The main issue discussed in this chapter is the way p4c answers the question: “what is philosophy?”—in particular, the role of questioning in philosophical inquiry and the political senses attributed to philosophy in p4c.
