Download or read book Why We Are in Need of Tails written by Maria Davenza Tillmanns and published by Iguana Books. This book was released on 2020-01-21 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our most nuanced skills for communication were lost when we lost our tails, so the story goes. Huk and Tuk explore ways we can compensate for this loss, by telling stories -- tales -- through polyphonic listening and by entering into dialogue to create a new, deeper understanding of ourselves and the world we live in. Doing philosophy with children inspired Maria deVenza Tillmanns to recreate the bonds of meaningful communication in the writing of this whimsical, playful story. Philosophy should make us -- children and adults -- re-think what we think we know and push the boundaries of accepted practices. Hopefully, it will also make us laugh about taking things too seriously.
