Abstract

Mathew Lipman proposed the Applied Philosophy for Children program as an educational program in the early 1970s, and with his effort and thought, it gradually evolved, as the acceptance of children and teachers as its audience, caused the expansion of this program in the American society and Other European, African and Asian societies. . Multidimensional thinking includes creative, caring, critical and collaborative thinking that Lipman and his colleagues have explained and defined to develop a questioning and challenging mind in the audience (children and teenagers). Narratives taken from the lives of religious ascetics have a valuable yield for localizing the types of thinking, the fields of concepts and philosophical and mental questions; Therefore, religious and religious narratives based on fantasy elements (wonderful and wonderful), selected characters and precious models can be a good standard in the implementation of the philosophy program for children. The current research has investigated the types of thinking in the collection of anecdotes "Be Like Imam Reza (AS)" by Hossein Mirzaei based on Lipman's multidimensional thinking with a descriptive-analytical approach. The results of the research indicate that these anecdotes are a strong stimulus for philosophical exploration and have the necessary capacity to explain philosophical and mental concepts and questions, such as the exchange of ideas and intellectual and reasoning skills or critical and creative thinking are among the most important and prominent types of thinking in the group. The stories are "Be like Imam Reza (AS)".
