In order to this aim two classroom in grade five in a primary and male school were selected by random selection. One of these classrooms as experimental group taught in 9 session of P4C. 16 students in any classrooms selected for interview by random selection. moral reasoning was examined (level of moral development, moral autonomy, subjective moral reasoning) of this children in pre test and post test in control and experiment group by parallel forms of Kohlberg and Piaget moral dilemmas and clinical interview of children’s moral reasoning after their judgment. But multiple covariance analysis didn’t show any significant difference between moderated post tests in any of variables so there didn’t prove any hypothesis of this study. It seems that the execution of “philosophy for children” in Iran education tissue needs to more sever manipulation and more consideration.
