query on philosophical analyses of Carroll

Goetz wrote on another thread:

'Are there or have there been discussions on CLD's philosophy where people like Gareth Matthews (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gareth_Matthews) and Matthew Lipman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Lipman) are mentioned, or projects like plato.stanford.edu/entries/children/?

'Recommendation to those who can read German: Ekkehart Marten's Philosophieren mit Kindern - eine Einführung in die Philosophie, Reclam #9778, Stuttgart 1999.'

I have copied this here as it seems the best place for it. Do any of the philosophy experts here have any answers? Goetz, perhaps you could give some idea of why you consider these commentators significant, particularly the one who can only be read in German?

Martens point of view is that philosophizing with children helps adult philosophers. It could have been useful to CLD that children address issues in ways, which well adapted adults already may have forgotten. (You know the story where a child did not care about whether it is alone or not alone in thinking and telling, that the emperor has no clothes.)
