The concepts of child and childhood are philosophically problematic because, although children can be biologically and physiologically categorized, the normative values attached to these categories matter politically and ethically in educational practices and theory. The philosophy of childhood is therefore concerned with the following: questions about adults’ claims to knowledge of childhood and child subjectivity; the limitations and implications of the notion of “development” structuring theoretical claims about child and childhood; the construction of various alternative and intersecting figurations of child; the examination of the socio-historical, philosophical, and biological bases of these figurations, and their ethico-political implications—particularly for education. Furthermore, more radically, contemporary postcolonial, postdevelopmental, and posthuman theorists deconstruct traditional adult–child binaries by claiming that understanding the logic of childhood is reflected in, and socio-historically situated in relation to, colonialism. This same logic used to justify the silencing and structural oppression of children is applied to Indigenous peoples in settler-colonial states. Postdevelopmental conceptions of childhood problematize the very notion of development on which psycho-social scientific theories of childhood depend. By drawing on disciplines other than academic philosophy, in particular childhood studies and early childhood education, a wide range of conceptions of child and childhood can be mapped that shape educational theories and practices in all phases of education: “developing child,” “scientific child,” “psycho-social child,” “subhuman child,” “superhuman child,” “philosophical child,” “postdevelopmental child,” “savage child,” and “posthuman child.”","author":[{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Person","name":"Kaitlin

Childhood is foundational to the development of selfhood, the formation of interests, values and skills and to the lifespan as a whole. Understanding what it is like to be a child, and what differences childhood makes, are thus essential for any broader understanding of the human condition. The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Childhood and Children is an outstanding reference source for the key topics, problems and debates in this crucial and exciting field and is the first collection of its kind. Comprising over thirty chapters by a team of international contributors the Handbook is divided into five parts: · Being a child · Childhood and moral status · Parents and children · Children in society · Children and the state. Questions covered include: What is a child? Is childhood a uniquely valuable state, and if so why? Can we generalize about the goods of childhood? What rights do children have, and are they different from adults’ rights? What (if anything) gives people a right to parent? What role, if any, ought biology to play in determining who has the right to parent a particular child? What kind of rights can parents legitimately exercise over their children? What roles do relationships with siblings and friends play in the shaping of childhoods? How should we think about sexuality and disability in childhood, and about racialised children? How should society manage the education of children? How are children’s lives affected by being taken into social care? The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Childhood and Children is essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy of childhood, political philosophy and ethics as well as those in related disciplines such as education, psychology, sociology, social policy, law, social work, youth work, neuroscience and anthropology.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Childhood and Children","attachmentId":57085102,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/37134486/The_Routledge_Handbook_of_the_Philosophy_of_Childhood_and_Children","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/37134486/The_Routledge_Handbook_of_the_Philosophy_of_Childhood_and_Children"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="1" data-entity-id="1062532" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/1062532/Children_Development_and_Education_Cultural_Historical_Anthropological_Perspectives_INTRO_AVAILABLE_">Children, Development and Education: Cultural, Historical, Anthropological Perspectives (INTRO AVAILABLE)</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="907129" href="https://leeds.academia.edu/mkontopodis">Michalis Kontopodis</a><span>, </span><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="53227914" href="https://independent.academia.edu/MartinHildebrandNilshon">Martin Hildebrand-Nilshon</a><span>, </span><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="248461096" href="https://independent.academia.edu/ChristianeMoro">Christiane Moro</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">"Historical anthropology is a revision of the German philosophical anthropology under the influences of the French historical school of Annales and the Anglo-Saxon cultural anthropology. Cultural-historical psychology is a school of thought which emerged in the context of the Soviet revolution and deeply affected the disciplines of psychology and education in the 20th century. This book draws on these two schools to advance current scholarship in child and youth development and education. It also enters in dialogue with other relational approaches and suggests alternatives to mainstream western developmental theories and educational practices. This book emphasizes communication and semiotic processes as well as the use of artifacts, pictures and technologies in education and childhood development, placing a special focus on active subjectivity, historicity and performativity. Within this theoretical framework, contributors from Europe and the U.S. highlight the dynamic and creative aspects of school, family and community practices and the dramatic aspects of child development in our changing educational institutions. They also use a series of original empirical studies to introduce different research methodologies and complement theoretical analyses in an attempt to find innovative ways to translate cultural-historical and historical anthropological theory and research into a thorough understanding of emerging phenomena in school and after-school education of ethnic minorities, gender-sensitive education, and educational and family policy. Divided into two main parts, “Culture, History and Child Development”, and “Gender, Performativity and Educational Practice”, this book is useful for anyone in the fields of cultural-historical research, educational science, educational and developmental psychology, psychological anthropology, and childhood and youth studies."</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Children, Development and Education: Cultural, Historical, Anthropological Perspectives (INTRO AVAILABLE)","attachmentId":44072651,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/1062532/Children_Development_and_Education_Cultural_Historical_Anthropological_Perspectives_INTRO_AVAILABLE_","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/1062532/Children_Development_and_Education_Cultural_Historical_Anthropological_Perspectives_INTRO_AVAILABLE_"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="2" data-entity-id="2112372" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/2112372/Understanding_childhood_An_introduction_to_some_key_themes_and_issues">Understanding childhood: An introduction to some key themes and issues</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="1515201" href="https://open.academia.edu/MaryJaneKehily">Mary Jane Kehily</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">MJ Kehily (red.), An introduction to childhood studies, 2004</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">Recent developments in education and the social sciences have seen the growth of childhood studies as an academic field of enquiry. Over the last decade or so childhood studies has become a recognized area of research and analysis, reflected in the success of publications such as James and Prout (1997) Constructing and Reconstructing Childhood and Stainton Rogers and Stainton Rogers (1992) Stories of Childhood: Shifting Agendas of Child Concern. A growing body of literature points to the importance of childhood as a conceptual category and as a social position for the study of a previously overlooked or marginalized group -children. Childhood studies as a field of academic endeavour offers the potential for interdisciplinary research that can contribute to an emergent paradigm wherein new ways of looking at children can be researched and theorized. This book aims to bring together key themes and issues in the area of childhood studies in ways that will provide an introduction to students and practitioners working in this field.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Understanding childhood: An introduction to some key themes and issues","attachmentId":30172954,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/2112372/Understanding_childhood_An_introduction_to_some_key_themes_and_issues","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/2112372/Understanding_childhood_An_introduction_to_some_key_themes_and_issues"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="3" data-entity-id="58230742" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/58230742/The_Child_An_Encyclopedic_Companion_Richard_A_Shweder_ed_Chicago_Chicago_University_Press_2009_xxxvii_1105_pp_Theme_Childhood_Challenges">The Child: An Encyclopedic Companion.

I find the volume to be a striking success in its bold endeavor. The entries are thoughtful and well-written, and Shweder has done a very good job of finding contributors who are adept at making generalizations while still attending to the diversity of child experiences and contexts across the globe. The effort to include a truly multicultural approach (Shweder's appropriate caveats about the multiple meanings of multicultural notwithstanding, p. xxxii) is perhaps the bravest of its moves, especially in the midst of multiple fracturing movements in anthropology and other social sciences that proclaim the individual essence and noncomparability of different cultural groups.

While historic views positioned children as either evil (products of their parents&#39; intimacy) or innocent (passive and in need of nurturing) (Branscombe, Castle, Dorsey, Surbeck & Taylor, 2000), a number of other images of childhood have emerged. In 2005, taking a reconceptualist perspective and examining written and visual documents and emergent data, Sorin and Galloway developed a Typology of ten Constructs of Childhood, These are: the child as innocent, the child as evil, the child as miniature adult, the child as adult-in-training, the noble/saviour child, the commodified child, the snowballing child, the out-of-control child, the child as victim and the agentic child. This paper uses the typology to examine data collected through parent and child interviews in Canada and in Australia.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Childhood through the eyes of the child and parent","attachmentId":63426928,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/21282382/Childhood_through_the_eyes_of_the_child_and_parent","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/21282382/Childhood_through_the_eyes_of_the_child_and_parent"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="6" data-entity-id="37135057" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/37135057/Introduction_The_Routledge_Handbook_of_the_Philosophy_of_Childhood_and_Children">Introduction: The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Childhood and Children</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="89050" href="https://ceu.academia.edu/AncaGheaus">Anca Gheaus</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Childhood and Children, 2019</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">Introduction to the Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Childhood and Children</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Introduction: The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Childhood and Children","attachmentId":57085584,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/37135057/Introduction_The_Routledge_Handbook_of_the_Philosophy_of_Childhood_and_Children","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/37135057/Introduction_The_Routledge_Handbook_of_the_Philosophy_of_Childhood_and_Children"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="7" data-entity-id="108226189" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/108226189/The_child_in_question_Childhood_texts_cultures_and_curricula">The child in question: Childhood texts, cultures, and curricula</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="29423458" href="https://yorku.academia.edu/LisaFarley">Lisa Farley</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">Curriculum Inquiry, 2016</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">What is a child? The concept of childhood is so familiar that we tend to assume its universality. As Davin (1999) notes, "We all 'know' what we mean by child and childhood. Yet its properties are multiple and elusive; its limits elastic" (p. 15). The lived experience of childhood is defined by the cultural and economic contexts in which it occurs, and thus, considering the vastly different experiences of children across the world and throughout history, it is impossible to imagine a universal definition. Indeed, the boundaries that differentiate children from adults shape the subjectivities of both. When we speak of the child, we are referring to the relationships, contexts and legacies through which the concept of childhood is mediated. Indeed, the meaning of childhood is always being negotiated not only by the imaginations of adults, but also by nations, markets, history and children themselves. Childhood is thus a discursive conflict zone upon which cultural, political and economic engagements are waged. This special issue's unifying theme, "The child in question," emerges, in part, from Davin's observation: that childhood has boundaries far more elastic than can be held by the familiar notion of the child as providing unmediated access to truth or innocence. The title pays homage to the work of sociologist, Gittins (1998), who explores the shifting meanings of children and childhood and how those meanings impact the lives of children. Contemporary laws, educational policies and social customs about and for children, such as those highlighted in this issue, reveal the ways that the properties of childhood remain as multiple and elusive as ever. Precisely because the concept of childhood is complex and constantly changing, it demands critical inquiry, for as elusive and elastic as they may be, social constructions of childhood have real material consequences for the children whose lives they shape. For Walkerdine (1993), the challenge is to look at the ways that social discourses "cut up and shape reality" as well as to account for "the real effects they produce" (p. 454). "Something real," she argues, "is produced out of fiction" (p. 454). In turn, the embodied lives of children can impact the metaphors we use to describe them. Duane (2010) describes this affecting dynamic of language as "the material grounding of metaphorical thought" (p. 12). The pages of this issue are filled with "question-children" who represent both the material and metaphorical qualities of childhood that complicate the fantasy of a certain truth. Indeed, for Britzman (2006), the question-child figure reminds us that uncertainty is the ground of research, including research about children. In her words, this child figure CONTACT Lisa Farley</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"The child in question: Childhood texts, cultures, and curricula","attachmentId":106664771,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/108226189/The_child_in_question_Childhood_texts_cultures_and_curricula","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/108226189/The_child_in_question_Childhood_texts_cultures_and_curricula"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="8" data-entity-id="74713417" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/74713417/Knowing_Children_Theory_and_Method_in_the_Study_of_Childhood">Knowing Children: Theory and Method in the Study of Childhood</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="9058846" href="https://rmit.academia.edu/DeniseCuthbert">Denise Cuthbert</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">Global Childhoods: Issues and Debates</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Knowing Children: Theory and Method in the Study of Childhood","attachmentId":82764524,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/74713417/Knowing_Children_Theory_and_Method_in_the_Study_of_Childhood","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/74713417/Knowing_Children_Theory_and_Method_in_the_Study_of_Childhood"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="9" data-entity-id="30685873" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/30685873/Theories_and_Concepts_of_Childhood">Theories and Concepts of Childhood</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="32331" href="https://lakeheadu.academia.edu/TobyRollo">Toby Rollo</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">To a large extent, the way that a society understands its young will shape the well-being and choices open to the young. Since no single field of study can speak to the variety of ways that children and youth are understood, in this course we will be introduced to discussions across a broad set of disciplines and intellectual traditions. We will engage with the idea of the child as taken up in the study of history,, and the environment. Throughout the course we will grapple with enduring questions about the nature of childhood: What qualities, if any, should be considered essential to childhood? Is childhood a " stage " of development into full humanity, or simply a different way of being human? Are our understandings of youth held globally or are they a specifically 'western' view? How are our visions of the child influence by intersections with race, gender, and class? What sorts of responsibilities and obligation do adults have towards the young? What are the political implications of these different theories of childhood and youth?</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Theories and Concepts of Childhood","attachmentId":51126790,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/30685873/Theories_and_Concepts_of_Childhood","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/30685873/Theories_and_Concepts_of_Childhood"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div></div></div><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--wrapper js-loswp-sticky-ctas hidden"><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--grid-container"><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--container"><button class="ds2-5-button js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"continue-reading-button--sticky-ctas","attachmentId":63966967,"attachmentType":"pdf","workUrl":null}">See full PDF</button><button class="ds2-5-button ds2-5-button--secondary js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"download-pdf-button--sticky-ctas","attachmentId":63966967,"attachmentType":"pdf","workUrl":null}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 20px" translate="no">download</span>Download PDF</button></div></div></div><div class="ds-below-fold--grid-container"><div class="ds-work--container js-loswp-embedded-document"><div class="attachment_preview" data-attachment="Attachment_63966967" style="display: none"><div class="js-scribd-document-container"><div class="scribd--document-loading js-scribd-document-loader" style="display: block;"><img alt="Loading..." src="//a.academia-assets.com/images/loaders/paper-load.gif" /><p>Loading Preview</p></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="scribd--no-preview-alert js-preview-unavailable"><p>Sorry, preview is currently unavailable.
