What is the meaning of life? Why do we live? Why do we die? What is love? These are the questions that philosopher and best-selling author Frédéric Lenoir asked children aged 7 to 10 during philosophical workshops he conducted in two elementary school over the course of a school year. He invites us to share the thoughts of these children as they confront the complexity of the world and the intensity of their emotions.
Frédéric Lenoir is still amazed by the capacity of children to explore existential questions, to dialogue... to become little philosophers!
