Mowlavi's Masnavi, Spiritual Intelligence, and Philosophical Joys for Kids

Increasing spiritual intelligence (SQ) -as the basis of man’s beliefs- and raising the independent thinking ability are necessary for a life of spiritual safety. Because of changeable social communication, instable information and complex nature of modern life, SQ, philosophizing and decision- making should be developed from childhood. P4C is intended to do that by using “tale” as the device. Since Mathnawi has many tales with various philosophical themes, it is one of the most suitable references for P4C in Iran. This essay will consider nine philosophical topics from Ontology to Political philosophy through the tales of Mathnawi.
