PHILOSOPHISATION AND ELEMENTS OF FAIRY TALE THERAPY

Keywords: philosophization, philosophical culture, philosophical tale, philosophical thinking

Abstract

In order to overcome modern deintellectualization, the paper suggests the use of philosophization which is introducing to outstanding philosophical works and practice of philosophical thinking. At an early age, reading of philosophical tales should be a necessary tool for its implementation. They are often philosophically problematic and directly work for philosophizing of consciousness. A good example for it is the collection of L. Surzhenko “Philosophical Tales”.

The philosophical analysis is designed to prevent cultural catastrophe — total ignorance, poor people’s belief that philosophical knowledge doesn`t help much in life, failure to understand that a person does not live outside of philosophical reasoning, and often does not understand the level of one’s own philosophizing, overestimates the significance of one-dimensional conclusions, showing the inability to recognize one’s own incompetence.

At the initial stage of children`s philosophization, reading will be a major asset. When becoming familiar with it, child develops imagination, empathy, attention, and memory. Individual’s taste, vocabulary skills, visual literacy, concept of the world, view of others and oneself are formed. This process is especially effective when sharing points about the material read, exchanging opinions and discussing.

A philosophical fairy tale is an effective tool for young children. Scientists assume that fairy tales express the embedded aspects of the collective consciousness, therefore they are life-affirming and vivifying, and continue to influence the perception of the ontological processes and our views, even after we have matured considerably.

We believe that acquaintance with philosophical tales from an early age will teach the language of wisdom, intensify thinking process of a child, instill in him/her love to thinking, ability to estimate all that’s happening, and analyze the nontrivial.
