Fully updated with new developments in the theory and practice of teaching philosophy, this new edition of the bestselling book, The If Machine, presents 30 clear, ready-to-use plans to teach philosophy in the classroom with children aged five to 13. Each tried-and-tested session offers an imaginary situation, followed by a series of questions to encourage children to challenge key philosophical ideas such as values and ethics, gender and identity, and existence and beauty. With a star system indicating the level of difficulty, this practical book by Peter Worley, founder of The Philosophy Foundation, outlines Peter's philosophical enquiry method, which he has developed over 20 years of teaching.
This fantastic resource also includes a new hints and tips section, as well as a troubleshooting table with guidance and links to further resources about how to deal with common problems such as unanimity. Accompanied by a companion website featuring an introduction to the philosophy that inspired the ideas, The If Machine is a must-have resource for all classrooms.

«A welcome second edition of what is still the best book of its kind on the market: an invaluable resource for teachers wanting to try out some philosophy in their classroom, and a significant contribution to educational theory.»
Michael Hand, Professor of Education, University of Birmingham
«This book is invaluable for all those who want to explore the many ways philosophy can enrich the lives of young people. Its lesson plans are imaginative, engaging and eminently practical, and the troubleshooting section, bibliography and website provide superb support.»
Angie Hobbs, Professor of the Public Understanding of Philosophy, University of Sheffield
«This is a treasure trove of hints, tips and ideas for bringing philosophy alive in the classroom. Challenging, rigorous and enormously stimulating – there's absolutely nothing 'iffy' about Peter Worley's approach!»
Dr John L. Taylor, Director, Philosophy in Education Project
