Una estrategia didáctica del Área de Filosofía de la I.E. Santa Elena para los grados 6º y 7º.
Docente: Juan David Arias Calle Correo-e: iese.juanarias@gmail.com
 Uno de los más grandes obstáculos con que se enfrenta la práctica filosófica
con los niños y jóvenes es el de la formidable terminología de la tradición filosófica.
Comprometerse en la actividad filosófica, ya sea como estudiante de una carrera o
una licenciatura en filosofía, o como profesional de la filosofía, implica aprender a
operar con un vocabulario técnico sancionado por 2.500 años de uso. El prestigio y
el poder de este vocabulario son absolutamente abrumadores. Éstos ciertamente
son suficientes para intimidar a cualquier niño o joven que se haya atrevido a
aventurarse entre las páginas de un libro de filosofía. Ésta es la razón básica por la
cual el trabajo filosófico con los niños y jóvenes requiere pasar por alto, o de lado,
ese vocabulario. En la medida de lo posible, el pensamiento filosófico entre los niños
y jóvenes debe ser estimulado de tal manera que dicho pensamiento tenga lugar en
los términos y conceptos del lenguaje ordinario, que es aquel con el que ellos se
sienten más cómodos.

(Matthew Lipman, Ann M. Sharp y Frederick S. Oscanyan. La filosofía en el salón de clases, 1980).

Cómo llenar tu álbum

El propósito de este Álbum filosófico, diseñado para ser ilustrado y escrito por estudiantes de los grados
6º y 7º de la Institución Educativa Rural Santa Elena, del Municipio de Medellín, Colombia, es que los niños
y niñas se apropien y construyan su propio vocabulario filosófico a través del fascinante juego del llenado
de álbumes.

El álbum contiene un total de 46 láminas. Las primeras 24, corresponden a un término o concepto
importante para el estudio de la historia o los problemas fundamentales de la filosofía. Las siguientes 18,
de autoría del abogado y artista estadounidense Ian Vanderwalker (textos en inglés), presentan los retratos,
al modo de muñecos de acción, de un igual número de reconocidos filósofos. Las 4 restantes se consideran
láminas fuera de serie, para que cada estudiante, de manera libre, aporte los cuatro términos filosóficos
que más le llamen la atención durante el año escolar.

Tanto el espacio para las ilustraciones, como el de los textos que acompañan las láminas 1 a 24, han sido
dejados en blanco para que sean los propios estudiantes quienes ilustren y definan cada entrada, según
su imaginación y creatividad. Se sugiere emplear un máximo de 20 palabras para definir cada término, y
hay total libertad en cuanto a la técnica pictórica y los materiales empleados para las ilustraciones.

Las láminas 25 a 42, serán entregadas por el profesor de filosofía durante las actividades de aula, como
una manera de estimular la participación activa, y otros aspectos actitudinales o comportamentales de los
estudiantes. Al finalizar el año lectivo, los autores expondrán su obra a la comunidad educativa.

“I had a little extra time on my hands the summer after my first year as a graduate student
in Indiana University's prestigious philosophy department, so I decided to take on a project
that would blend two of my greatest interests at the time--or rather, one of my petty
distractions and my greatest interest, which are philosophy and toys, respectively. I wanted
to do something that would bring a discipline that is often seen as difficult, esoteric, and
even irrelevant, into new light--especially in the eyes of young people. Pretty early on, we
made it onto David Chalmers's comprehensive list of philosophy humor sites (although it
looks like he hasn't updated his links for several years--where are his priorities?).
Philosophical Powers is periodically mentioned in some nerd thing or another--even Reddit.
Somebody who actually wanted to make a product ripped off the idea (which clearly I'm the
only person to have thought of) for some finger puppets, and of course there's these
people”.

EL CORDERO BAJO LLAVE

Jaime Alberto Vélez González (Colombia)
El cordero permanecía solo, encerrado en su casa, cuando oyó que
llamaban a la puerta.
- ¿Quién es? –preguntó.
- Soy tu madre– respondió el lobo con voz fingida-. Ábreme, por favor.
- Debo creerte–dijo el cordero- porque nadie debe mentir.
- Claro, hijo. Te felicito por tu sensatez–repuso el lobo.
- Pero en caso de que tú fueras mi madre–prosiguió el cordero–, ya no
sería hijo tuyo.
El lobo enmudeció.
- Entonces, ¿quién sería yo? ¿Ah? –preguntó con insistencia el
cordero.
El lobo comprendió que resultaba imposible deshacer un cerrojo como
aquel, de modo que decidió retirarse en silencio del lugar.
