Abstract
Matthew Lipman’s pragmatism, built and developed “Community of inquiry” (CI) in “Philosophy for Children” (P4C) starting from negative experiences while teaching philosophy to college students in the late 60's. P4C success- fully becomes part of the solution and developed in the community. P4C can not only be material for children’s education but also can be a basic principle of value edu- cation and life education for children. Through the Socra- tic Method, children have the ability to express opinions and think critically; these two abilities are very impor- tant in the process of philosophizing. In P4C, the children learn to think and make their own decisions without being enslaved by dogmatic thinking or relativism. These abilities are very important to be able to live in harmony and develop in a plural and democratic society such as Malaysia.
