The Poetry of Reason

Here is the first day of this blog on the poetry of reason. We will explore philosophy, language and ideas mostly as they relates to educators and ways to develop philosophical thinking with children and young adults.

Here is my first question for my blog readers:

What are the kinds of thought, by name? Would they include Reasoning, Faith, Myth, Fantasy, Science, Wish, Hope, Prayer, Logic?
