Philosophy for Children (P4C) is an educational program based on reasoning and logical deduction in children. The characteristic of P4C is its active teaching method. The philosophical content of P4C can be differentiated and analyzed based on ontological, anthropological, epistemological, and axiological foundations. The origin of humanity is one of the fundamental anthropological issues in P4C. In this article, the origin of humanity in P4C is extracted through the analysis of its narrative literature and critiqued based on Transcendent Theosophy. The claim of P4C is a kind of free thinking without the imposition of any particular belief; however, the content of the program, under the guise of a specific philosophy, aligns with pragmatic foundations. Based on the principles of Transcendent Theosophy, the formulation of the issue of human origin in P4C program is incomplete without considering the immaterial aspect of humanity, and the human being is not interpreted solely as a physical entity. Based on this, the foundation of discovering educational perceptions is not limited to the physical senses and has the potential for enhancement. The ranking of perceptions and the non-exclusivity of them to sensory experience are components that lead to the denial of a biological origin in P4C.
