Abstract
Education for thinking requires care in how we think, which is called caring thinking. This thinking combines feeling and rationality and helps children develop a sound value system. Despite the growing importance of caring thinking and the need for content to teach it, there is a shortage of suitable materials and a lack of attention to this aspect of philosophical thought. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the book "A Collection of Philosophical Stories for Iranian Children" based on the components of caring thinking for use in philosophical inquiry circles. The stories in this book and the suggested exercises at the end are analyzed based on the presence or absence of components of caring thinking (appreciative thinking, emotional thinking, normative thinking, active thinking, and empathetic thinking). This research uses comparative content analysis and purposive sampling. The findings showed that although some stories in the analyzed book did not address the components of caring thinking, the presence of these components was evident in most stories. Normative, emotional, and appreciative thinking components showed a suitable and rich presence, while active and empathetic thinking components were less rich compared to the others. Therefore, using these stories in philosophical inquiry circles can help strengthen and develop caring thinking in children.
