Childhood looms large in our understanding of human life, as a
phase through which all adults have passed. 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.
