Educating the Postmodern Child traces the philosophical challenges
posed by children living in an information age. Fiachra Long
explores the construction of childhood in today's society arguing
that the postmodern child is exposed to the public world before its
time and he explores the significance of this public/private shift.
Issues considered include education, appearance, space,
empowerment, globality, tactility, talent, and visibility. After
setting the context, each chapter uses a phenomenological approach
to describe experiences common across computer-literate children
today. Chapters draw on sources in the history of ideas to critique
the situation described, provide a rich combination of educational
and philosophical theory and apply some speculative concepts to the
situation of children.
