Abstract

The philosophy for children is to philosophize with the children. Many children’s books have been written in order to philosophy with the children.  The books of philosophy for children should contain the philosophical questions or problems, and provide them with examples by concretizing. In this study, five books of the philosophy for children discussing the concept of art and beauty have been examined and it has been analyzed how the books discussed the philosophical concepts. It has been determined that the books have mostly given place to the views of the subjectivist theories, and the different questions and opinions in this area have not been sufficiently reflected to the books. In the books of philosophy for children, it can be stated that the books should involve various philosophical questions and problems related to the concepts of beauty and art, and should not take into consideration the subject by a single point in order to ensure children think more about it from different angles.
