Who are The Philosophers of the title to your mind? 

For me, it’s the kids. The kids are living up to their potential as human beings without being forced to dumb down their feelings, their beliefs, their reactions, their processes. That’s what envisioned.

I envision philosophy as a tool as powerful as a physical weapon and in this particular story, without weapons on the part of the kids mostly, the tools they had at their disposal were ideas and their ability to articulate those ideas. A dialectic where one idea and another idea clash and then synthesize to something new, that was the aspiration, narratively.
