In the spirit of the Community of Philosophical Enquiry, this timely edited volume draws together wisdom from a diverse community of practice, offering ways to better, understand, implement, and advocate for the transformative pedagogy of CoPE in citizenship education and in education more broadly.
Dialogue about democracy and other complex moral and political issues is risky, but between them, the authors show their enormous experience and sensitivity when it comes to addressing the contested concepts and urgent challenges of our times. Alongside the risks, CoPE offers significant rewards, especially for those who accept the relationship between thinking well together and living well together. These rewards are explored in this volume too. The result is a chorus of distinct voices, each crying out for a better world.

The Community of Philosophical Enquiry invites young people into philosophical dialogues that create democratic communities. It has great promise to address the crises of democracy, expand the role of the humanities, and shift conventional civic education to be more dialogic and philosophical. This book offers examples and perspectives from many parts of the world and attests to a vital new international movement.

"This is a book broader and deeper than it appears. On the surface, it is about an important family of civic pedagogies. But the authors, diverse in their disciplines and national settings, dig deeper in multiple directions. So the reader is invited to participate in, and learn from, a broad ranging conversation on the civic perspective.
It is a delight to see the intellectual community of civic studies to be progressing in ways exemplified by this book. I recommend it especially to those who think they are not interested in pedagogy. They have the most to learn from this book."
