<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The authors examine the themes and values of <i>Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.<i><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Mister Rogers' Neighborhood</i>, which began as <i>The Children's Corner</i> in 1953 and terminated in 2001, left its mark on America. <p/> The show's message of kindness, simplicity, and individual uniqueness made Rogers a beloved personality, while also provoking some criticism because, by arguing that everyone was special without having to do anything to earn it, the show supposedly created an entitled generation. <p/> In <i>Mister Rogers and Philosophy</i>, thirty philosophers give their very different takes on the <i>Neighborhood </i>phenomenon. <p/> ● Rogers's way of communicating with children has a Socratic dimension, and is compared with other attempts to cultivate philosophy in children. <p/> ● Wonder is the origin of philosophy and science, and Mister Rogers always looked for wonder. <p/> ● Did Mister Rogers unwittingly create the Millennials by his message that everyone is special? <p/> ● What Martin Buber's I-Thou philosophy can tell us about Fred Rogers's attempt to rehabilitate children's television. <p/> ● X the Owl obsesses, Daniel Tiger regresses, Lady Elaine displaces anger, King Friday controls--how puppets can be used to teach us about feelings. <p/> ● Fred Rogers's indirect communication is key to the show, and most evident in the land of make-believe, where he doesn't make himself known. <p/> ● How Mister Rogers helps us see that the ordinary world is extraordinary, if we're willing to open ourselves up to it. <p/> ● How does Mister Rogers's method of teaching compare with Maria Montessori's? <p/> ● Fred Rogers and Carl Rogers have a lot in common: The Neighborhood is observed in the light of Rogerian therapy. <p/> ● Mister Rogers's view of evil is closer to Rousseau than to Voltaire. <p/> ● Fred Rogers gave a non-philosophical interpretation of the philosophical approach known as personalism. <p/> ● Daoism helps us understand how Fred Rogers, the antithesis of a stereotypical male, could achieve such success as a TV star. <p/> ● In the show and in his life, we can see how Rogers lived "the ethics of care." <p/> ● Puppets help children understand that persons are not isolated, but interconnected. <p/> ● Mister Rogers showed us that talking and singing about our feelings makes them more manageable.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Eric J.
