History of Philosophy, 2/8, Period 2
One sees well only with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eyes. -- Antoine St. Exupery
It was, apparently warm-n-fuzzy day in Tyler's corner of the universe. The desks had been pushed out of the way, there were pillows on the floor, and hot cocoa and coffee were out for anyone who wanted them.
It was ... actually a little bizarre in how normal and cozy it was.
"Hey," Tyler greeted. "So the new idiot librarian decided to send over The Little Prince instead of The Prince today. I am going to make the best of it and have you talk about the philosophy of a kid's book."
"Anyhow, so this is a story about a kid who lives on a planet all by himself and spends half the book talking to a rose. Mostly, it's about saying goodbye. The reason it's interesting is there's some philosophical stuff in here. For our discussion question today, I want you to consider the quote on the board. Do you agree or disagree? Talk about it. You can also, if you want, look at what it means when a child is the only person in a story with any sense."
