Philosophizing for children

22.02.2026

During this philosophy lesson, you will join philosopher Esther Didden in thinking about stairs and ladders!

When is something a ladder? With one step, two or are more needed? What is the difference between a ladder and stairs? What all can you use a ladder for? Can animals use a ladder? What would the ladder itself like to be used for? In this philosophy lesson we are going to take apart the ladder step by step (figuratively that is) and philosophically explore with each other what it is, a ladder.

Come philosophize at Kunsthal KAdE with philosopher Esther Didden. Philosophizing is thinking together, asking questions and being curious. There are no wrong answers, only new ideas.
