 In her new book, 'Why Teach Philosophy in Schools? The Case for Philosophy on the Curriculum', Jane Gatley develops two original arguments for teaching philosophy to all students at some point over the course of their education. She argues that teaching philosophy is the best way to help students to think clearly using ordinary or non-specialist concepts such as 'good', 'truth', or 'happiness'. She goes on to argue that teaching philosophy is the best way to help students to make sense of the different conceptual schemes used by different school subjects. Combining these two arguments, Jane suggests that these two roles for philosophy are central to the task of educating people, and so philosophy ought to be included on school curricula.\n
 Professor Angie Hobbs, Professor Kristjan Kristjansson and Pete Worley will each offer critical comments on the book. Jane Gatley will then respond.\n
