世界範圍內兒童哲學研究及實踐正在蓬勃發展，李普曼式的設置專門兒童哲學課程或者馬修斯式的與兒童對話則是主要的實踐方式。然而對於東北師範大學附屬小學來說，李普曼的做法並不完全適用，而馬修斯的主張則是可以有選擇地吸納的。基於此，附小開始了「李普曼式」+「馬修斯式」兒童哲學課程的初步嘗試，並探索出一條比較接中國地氣、符合本土特點的「第三條道路」，即在全學科滲透兒童哲學精神。

The research and practice of the Philosophy for Children (P4C) is booming around the world, with Lipman’s P4C course and Matthews’s dialogue with children as the main ways of practice. However, for the primary school attached to Northeast Normal University, Lippmann’s approach is not fully applicable, and Matthews’s proposition can be selectively absorbed. Based on this, the primary school attached to Northeast Normal University began the initial trial of the “Lippmann-style” + “Matthews-style” P4C course, explored a “third way”, which is grounded in the Chinese atmosphere and conformed to the local characteristics, that is, to integrate the spirit of P4C with curriculum.
