"The status of philosophy is such that it is not the case that you cannot be wrong in philosophy but that it is very difficult to be right."

Peter Worley is the founder and former CEO of The Philosophy Foundation, a pioneering charity that has spent over two decades bringing philosophy into schools, prisons, care homes, and communities across Britain. A philosopher, educator, and author, Worley developed the Philosophy in Education Project and the PhiE method — an accessible approach to doing philosophy with children that has influenced educators across the world.

Worley is the author of numerous books, including The If Machine and 40 Lessons to Get Children Thinking. His work was the basis for a BAFTA-nominated BBC series What Makes Me, Me?
