Abstract

Mister Rogers welcomes us into his cozy living room. With an affable smile, Mister Rogers comes through the door, takes off his jacket, hangs up his hat, switches his going-about town shoes for house shoes, and offers the hospitality of his home as a space for investigation, exploration, and the cultivation of wonder. In so doing, Mister Rogers opens his neighborhood to persons young and old as a place where questions are asked, and answers are sought. Mister Rogers opens his door and invites in philosophers.
