 An unassuming 96 page novel for middle-school children, Lipman’s first novel, Harry Stottlemeier’s Discovery, features Harry and his 5th grade classmates. Adults occasionally enter in, but the primary philosophical work is done by the children. Harry and his friends discover several basic concepts and rules of Aristotelean logic; and they puzzle over questions about the nature of thought, mind, causality, reality, knowledge and belief, right and wrong, and fairness and unfairness.
