About p4c.com
What is p4c.com?
P4C.COM IS A WEB SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE for teachers who want pupils of all ages to think for themselves through philosophical dialogue with others. We provide resources, lesson plans, advice, collaboration, and powerful tools for creating your own dynamic materials.
Give and take ethos
P4C.com has an ethical outlook in that it works on a ‘give and take’ basis. If people write and share resources, they get paid for their efforts. That payment may amount to substantially more than the subscription. The more they write the more they get paid. If people never write and share resources, they simply pay the subscription in order to fund the service they are benefiting from. This ethical arrangement allows the site to be maintained and developed, for editorial services to be paid for and for writers to be rewarded for their efforts. It is therefore self-sustaining.
