Harry Stottlemeier's Discovery[1] is a philosophical novel for children written by Matthew Lipman.
The novel was Lipman's first, and inaugurated the educational movement known as Philosophy for Children.
[2] The book deals with everyday situations which a group of children encounter.
Rather than looking for answers, the type of thinking encouraged is about prolonging questioning, and performing self-initiated testing on the events or objects under discussion.
[4][5][6] Louis Katzner notes that Lipman uses syllogistic rather than propositional logic.
