Abstract

 Kalileh and Demneh, which is considered a part of the Persian didactic literature, is a book filled with social, political, and moral lessons in the form fables. The high potential of this book and its diverse, insightful themes have led to many rewritings and adaptations, as well as its application in other areas. One of these relatively new areas is teaching philosophy to children (P4C).In recent years, with the rise of the P4C program, the necessity of providing appropriate local resources for its implementation has become important. To this end, several attempts have been made to rewrite the stories of ancient Persian texts, and some writers have devoted themselves to rewriting literary works following the standards of P4C stories. In the meantime, the precise explanation of the dos and don’ts of a story has become highly crucial. Since the P4C program, especially the writing of philosophical stories, is a new trend in our country, it is necessary to analyze the works published so far to prevent misunderstandings and errors and put this trend on the right track.
