  This article is a comparative study between foundations, goals, and methodology of critical thinking in social philosophy of Horkheimer and “Philosophy for children”(P4C) program, and criticizing them. In order to realize this goal 3 questions are investigated on 3 aspects of foundations, aims and methods; and their relationship is studied. The result shows some similarities and differences between them. Similarities in foundations like being affected by Socrates, emphasize on thinking position in philosophy more than metaphysical subjects. About similarities in aims intellectual growth and to create better life is common in two approaches but the meaning of better life for them is different; for Horkheimer it means creating happiness for more people but in P4C program it means living in a democratic society with responsible and thoughtful citizens. Differences like adopting with social circumstances and the place of knowledge in social critic are mentioned. In methodology the main difference is to present certain and definable method for improving critical thinking in p4c but Horkheimer argue that critical thinking is a continuous process, so he doesn’t present a definite method only speaks of negative critique. The result of this study can be used for other researchers in philosophy and philosophy of education and other educational fields, curricula developer in educational systems, especially in developing an educational model for educating critical thinking.

  The current crisis of meaning and identity is one of the major concerns for every educational system. Religious identity is one of the aspects of this problem that is highly recognized in Islamic Iran. This paper tries to provide a picture for the concept of religious identity, the role of stories, one of the chief sources of meaning, in its genesis and the consequences of storytelling for religious education based on the narrative hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur. The Ricoeurian thought shows that religious texts in general and religious stories in particular shape the religious identity. According to Ricoeur, description using narratives, is subject to pure narrativisim and it is necessary to move to explanation step. Although every narrative has its own world, but to explain the religious teachings using narratives, other rival discourses must be considered Manuscript profile

  The main purpose of this research is to explore the methodological critique of Narvaez's integrated approach to moral education. For this purpose, First, based on a certain pattern of methodological requirements, the integration of strategies was considered. Then based on this pattern, goal, the process of choosing the approaches to the origin, the level and type of integration, structure and meanings of the terms used in the Narvaez approach and the approaches of the source; and the existence Or the lack of meta-language in the Narvaez approach has been evaluated and criticized. The results indicate that, since the structure of the source approaches is intrinsically contradictory, and Narvaez did not attempt to discover or fabricate a meta-language or a common language, only the terms of the two approaches are placed horizontally or horizontally. it seems that, unlike his pleadings, In practice, the combination has not been made. In addition, the study of the content and meanings of the terms used in Narvaez's perspective and the approaches to the source show that these terms actually provided the same approach of character education or, At least, presented another version of the approach of character education. Thus, in terms of structure, the combination provided by Narvaez is challenged with serious challenge and is eclecticism. Manuscript profile
