Neste artigo, me refiro à leitura que faço de um debate entre dois estudiosos e praticantes de filosofia com crianças – Karin Murris e Darren Chetty. Os pontos da discussão entre eles que escolhi para focar remontam a um livro infantil chamado Tusk Tusk, de David McKee. Os argumentos dos dois, para mim, levantam questões sobre a relação entre o texto inicial (ou estímulo) e temas relevantes para pensar o mundo de forma ampla. Embora Chetty veja benefícios no uso de livros ilustrados, ele parece acreditar que há um uso excessivo de fábulas e contos mágicos e que outros pontos de partida possam fazer mais sentido para explorar questões sociais complexas com dimensões históricas. Murris, por outro lado, parece achar interessante a falta de perspectiva histórica evidentes naqueles livros de que mais gosta. Ela valoriza os aspectos ‘universais’ e ‘mágicos’ na medida em que estes estimulam diálogos ‘rizomáticos’, espontâneos e não-hierárquicos. Neste texto eu comento aquelas que, para mim, são as linhas argumentativas mais significativas nas perspectivas de Chetty e Murris. A partir dai, sugiro algumas ideias práticas para a escolha de textos e para ‘ler contra o texto’ – um termo que ambos autores usam. Ademais, pergunto e respondo a seguinte questão: ‘Em sessões de diálogo filosófico, devem os adultos trazer para as crianças questões que eles consideram importantes ou é melhor evitar fazê-lo?’
