BIG IDEAS FOR YOUNG THINKERS: 20 QUESTIONS ABOUT LIFE AND THE UNIVERSE

This book considers broad questions about life and the universe through perspectives and possible answers from different cultures and centuries. It connects difficult questions children may raise to real-life examples and introduces a range of thinkers, from ancient Greeks to contemporary American writers. Rather than requiring a linear read, it invites readers to choose individual questions or pages for discussion. A timeline, glossary, and index accompany its exploration of philosophy and the people who have shaped big ideas.
