Thinking Children Zusammenfassung

Thinking Children: The concept of 'child' from a philosophical perspective Dr Claire Cassidy

Thinking Children investigates the concept of 'child' from a philosophical perspective. Its aim is to come to an acceptable definition of 'child', and it is anticipated that such a definition will impact on how those seen as children are perceived in society.The author first explores the notions of personhood, self and identity, before reflecting on historical perspectives on childhood and the inclusion of children as active, participative, political and philosophical agents within society today.Children and adults are placed differently society, and through coming to an acceptable definition of 'child', this book seeks to determine whether such differential status is merited. Thinking Children proposes that we might consider children as beings and not becomings, and empower them to be active and participative citizens, since they are able and adept reasoners.

Thinking Children Bewertungen

'Cassidy's book is a timely contribution to public understanding. She presents a robust picture of 'thinking children' - citizens whose voices demand and deserve to be heard. This is a challenging and yet accessible book, and Cassidy's analytic but committed voice deserves a wide hearing.' David Bridges, Emeritus Professor, University of East Anglia, UK and Emeritus Fellow, St Edmund's College, Cambridge, UK
'With clarity and insight Thinking Children challenges all who work with children to enhance the quality of children's lives and participation in society by raising conceptions of their capabilities and status, and transforming educational and social interactions.' Don Skinner, educational consultant and writer
'Offers a careful sequence of arguments that are methodically reasoned, the practical implications of which are in fact revolutionary. Cassidy's book clears the theoretical ground for an approach to parenting, education and public life that, in reconstructing the adult notion of childhood, hints at far-ranging social reconstruction.' David Kennedy, Professor of Education, Department of Educational Foundations, Institute for the Advancement of Philosophy for Children, Montclair State University, USA
