The Perfect Bedroom
From Delphi the Philosopher

This download consists of The Perfect Bedroom enquiry from Delphi the Philosopher.
This lesson starts to move the children’s thinking from concrete to abstract thought. It does this by helping the children see a philosophical question will have several possible answers depending on what we mean by different ideas – in this case, about happiness and freedom. This enquiry is a reworking of the 'Happy Prisoner' thought experiment found in John Locke's philosophy.

- The full colour e-book of The Perfect Bedroom from Delphi the Philosopher, including guidance notes for teachers throughout.
- Detailed lesson plan.
- The Delphi Philosophy Enquiry Guide, a quick-start guide to teaching with Delphi Philosophy.
