The Lorax - Teaching Children Philosophy Author: Dr. Seuss Publisher: Random House Summary by jayme johnson The Lorax has gone. Guidelines for Philosophical Discussion The Lorax , by Dr. One underlying message contained within the Lorax that is a good source of philosophical discussion is the idea of the interconnectedness of the things that live in an ecosystem. Answers to many of the questions about our social responsibility to the ecosystem seem currently to be driven by the notion of sustainability . So far the discussion has been geared to the idea of social responsibility , but we can also ask about what the nature of social responsibility itself is. One final interesting philosophical topic that gets raised in the Lorax might be called the intrinsic value argument for environmental preservation . Questions for Philosophical Discussion The Lorax tries to speak for the trees. When the Lorax first appears to speak on behalf of the tress, the Once-ler claims he is doing no harm by cutting down Truffula Trees to make Thneeds.
