What is a good and happy life? Philosophizing with children

This paper deals with the topic of good and happy life. It is to be reflected upon by students of Islamic and Catholic religious education in the third grade using the method Philosophizing with Children in the classroom. Within this framework three reformulated questions and four illustrations from Oscar Brenifier''s books Leben - Was ist das? and Glück - Was ist das? will be used for philosophising in religious education as an educational project. The project will be developed and carried out in the classroom using various methods and media which will encourage the pupils to philosophize by means of illustrations and questions. The examination of the ethical theological and pedagogical perspectives serves the teachers as a basis for answering the question What is a good and happy life? in order to be able to accompany and support children of different cultural backgrounds and religious origins.
