 |
Description
Book Introduction
In times of turmoil, philosophy serves as our beacon.
A philosophical journey with President Chae will change the depth of your thoughts!
“A must-read for elementary school students recommended by education experts!”
“My child’s favorite book that makes you wait for the next volume while reading!”
“A book I confidently recommend to anyone I care about!”
The "Chae Sa-jang's Wide and Shallow" series, which sparked a humanities craze among children and parents upon its publication in 2021.
Every time a new book is published, word of mouth spreads and it has now become a must-read for children's humanities.
Readers unanimously say that they have gained a new perspective on the world beyond simply acquiring fragmentary information.
Moreover, the immersive story was enough to make me find the fun of reading itself.
Many young readers in many families have gained knowledge in various fields, including history, economics, politics, society, and science, and parents and children have begun intellectual conversations.
And this journey is now reaching its destination: 'philosophy'.
The knowledge we need in life does not end with studying to survive in the real world.
Curiosity and wonder about things beyond reality are also resources that enrich our lives.
Humanity has endlessly explored the search for absolute, unchanging, and universal truth, and this has led to various fields of study.
And there was a philosophy behind it.
Understanding humanity and the world begins with the very questions "Why?" and "How?" In the age of AI, education that provides set answers is no longer meaningful.
What our children need now is creativity and the power to think.
Philosophy, the root of all studies.
A child who understands philosophy will learn diverse ideas, ask himself questions, and acquire true knowledge that remains unchanged even as times change rapidly.

Publisher's Review
Where is the truth that will save humanity?
What wisdom will serve as a compass for our times?
In the midst of endless questions
Discover the wisdom of great philosophers!
The terminology of philosophy is unfamiliar and the process of thinking is complex.
It would be a difficult task for a child to understand in detail the deep thoughts and arguments of every philosopher.
However, it is quite possible for even elementary school students to grasp the vast stream of discourse.
Just by knowing the direction in which the river flows, where it splits, and where it reunites to flow into the sea of truth, you can sense how humanity has developed wisdom within its historical context and the reality in which you find yourself.
Author Chae Sa-jang divides the perspective on truth into three major categories.
Absolutism, relativism, and skepticism.
To most easily understand the flow of Western philosophy, we must grasp the larger context centered on these three positions.
Socrates' absolutist ideals were passed on to his disciple Plato.
However, Aristotle, who was Plato's disciple, took a relativistic stance, unlike his teacher.
He sought to find truth among various objects in the real world.
The two pillars of thought established by Plato and Aristotle continued into the Middle Ages.
The Church Fathers and Scholastic philosophers who accepted Christianity attempted to understand and academically organize the relationship between God and humans based on ancient philosophy.
The universal debate shows how Platonic absolutism and Aristotelian relativism continued in medieval philosophy.
And this opposition leads to rationalism and empiricism in modern philosophy.
Ultimately, roughly speaking, the basic framework of Western philosophy does not deviate significantly from the three positions of absolutism, relativism, and skepticism.
Although similar discourses may seem repetitive, the history of philosophy captures the vivid spirit of each era.
Philosophy thought about the most urgent needs of the time, organized them into language, and suggested the direction for humanity to take.
So, what kind of philosophy is needed in the 21st century? In a modern society overflowing with knowledge and information, fragmented individuals, and uncontrolled desires, what wisdom can serve as our compass? The answer to this question lies with young readers, who must discover it within this book.
Because the journey of philosophy will continue with you from now on.
