One of the great icons of pop culture today is the resurgence of the superheroes of comic books. Thanks to the screen adaptations of movies and animations on TV, every child knows these characters, and tries to interact with these in their play and leisure time. But what these characters can bring to our children?
Besides the purpose of entertaining, the HQ's [1] present important questions of everyday life, such as: personal and social responsibility, justice, crime and punishment, human emotions, personal identity, difference, meaning of life, friendship, love. Superheroes teach by example and show the good and justice into action.
Lipman says, the classroom, would have to devote to thinking, research, self-assessment [2]. For him, we must teach students how society works, because the way they think it works will, in due course, influence the way it works [3]. But how do children understand and question the workings of society, bringing them to research and reasoning? An education focused on the development of rationality, for Lipman is the ideal, that is, an education for thought. But how to do this today? Which use teaching tools? The school should prepare the necessary changes for this education, philosophy of delivering programs for school children. And the comics, this could be extremely helpful, they serve as teaching material for learning the philosophical thinking about society, gender issues and differences, and even the question of human understanding.
In fiction from the pages of comics, the superhero alter society, making it perfect in our eyes. If we use these stories in the classroom, with a program of philosophy for children, this tool will help in the education, redeem society. The super-heroes would go out of the pages, to become critical models of our society. Children through entertainment to better match the content, understand the society, because these stories are not so innocent so they bring in literally life experiences in our day to day.
The superheroes of the comics are great examples to follow. They teach us what to do in various situations, always showing the good side is the right way to go. The comics have always been pioneers in bringing issues of paramount importance to discussion on means of mass communication, so only the issues discussed by activists and their media restricted.
The comics always adapted to the historical context. Showing the desires of society, making the superhero guardians of morality and ethics.
Lipman was a major incentive for my research on superheroes and philosophy. His show of philosophical education for children is needed in our schools. So I come look at comics, philosophical foundations for assistance to school philosophy. With this tool, the HQ's, could do very well the relationship between education and society, in which Lipman underlay.
