Abstract

The rapid development of technology in the twenty-first century and increasingly common human problems, Makes us sensitive to the knowledge that we will give to children, and better accomplish this knowledge with spiritual and rational skills. Recently, spiritual realm is considered as a domain of intelligence. Researchers believe that as one of the most valuable achievements in the past few years, spiritual intelligence is capable to uncover mysteries of humans’ complex mind and find the origins of human behavior. While one of the major concerns of Iranian society and its educational system is the negligence of spirituality in nurturing children, the extensive literature on spiritual intelligence signifies that research in this domain is limited to adults’ attitude and children are almost disregarded. There is much evidence concerning the advantages of the development of spiritual intelligence during childhood. While defining spiritual intelligence, this paper intended to clarify the necessity of developing spiritual intelligence and examining the possible accessibility of this purpose via Philosophy for Children Program.
