Children and philosophy in preschool education institutions

U ovome radu prikazat će se rad s djecom na području filozofije, od najistaknutijih autora iz prošlosti, poput Matthewa Lipmana, do današnjih autora i aktivnih sudionika u praksi kao što je Bruno Ćurko. Provedeno je i prikazano istraživanje u kojemu se istraživalo koliko djeca predškolske dobi poznaju i razumiju filozofske teme i pojmove. Prikazani su svi rezultati, kao i odabrani najrelevantniji kao prikaz određenoga shvaćanja te kreativnog i kritičkog mišljenja kod djece predškolske dobi koja pohađaju predškolsku ustanovu. Na kraju rada postavljen je prijedlog uvođenja ovakvog načina rada i s djecom predškolske dobi u Hrvatskoj, što do sada nije bio slučaj.This paper will present work with children in the field of philosophy, from the most prominent authors from the past, such as Matthew Lipman, to today's authors and active participants in practice such as Bruno Ćurko. A survey investigated how much preschool children know and understand philosophical topics and concepts and it was conducted and presented. All results are presented, as well as the most relevant ones are selected as a presentation of a certain understanding and creative and critical thinking in preschool children attending preschool. At the end of the paper, a proposal was made to introduce this method of work to preschool children in Croatia, which has not been the case so far
