The purpose of this thesis was to find out how philosophy and the Philosophy for Children-program are related to philosophy of life (school subject) and to see to what extent children’s philosophy can be used to achieve the goals of philosophy of life at grades 1-2. I was interested in the subject because I wanted to find practical tools for teaching philosophy of life classes. The aim of this thesis was to show the link between philosophy of life, philosophy and the Philosophy for Children-program by examining the practical connections and features between them, and also to examine the eligibility of Philosophy for Children as a teaching method in philosophy of life. The research questions in this study were different in nature, so I used different tools to answer them. I investigated the links between philosophy of life, philosophy and the Philosophy for Children by examining the national core curriculum and various articles related to them. I investigated the eligibility of Philosophy for Children as a teaching method in philosophy of life by means of an integrated literature review. My review consisted of five recent researches on the effects of Philosophy for Children, which I chose on the basis of the variables under examination. Philosophy of life turned out to be linked to philosophy and the Philosophy for Children-program by a variety of practical implications behind the subjects. An integrated literature review showed that the Philosophy for Children practise can be used as a teaching method to achieve the goals of the curriculum of philosophy of life at grades 1-2.
