Winner of the 2022 Book Award of the Philosophy of Education
Society of Australasia, Gareth B. Matthews, The Child's Philosopher
brings together groundbreaking essays by renowned American
philosopher Gareth B. Matthews in three fields he helped to
initiate: philosophy in children's literature, philosophy for
children, and philosophy of childhood. In addition, contemporary
scholars critically assess Matthews' pioneering efforts and his
legacy. Gareth B. Matthews (1929-2011) was a specialist in ancient
and medieval philosophy who had conversations with young children,
discovering that they delight in philosophical puzzlement and that
their philosophical thinking often enriched his own understanding.
Those conversations became the impetus for a substantial component
of Matthews' scholarship, from which this book features essays
spanning the length of his career. Contemporary contributors to the
book critically evaluate Matthews' scholarship, showing where he
broke new ground and identifying developments and debates in the
fields he helped to initiate. They take up pressing challenges,
including biased idealizations of childhood in children's
literature; the tensions between teaching philosophy to, and doing
philosophy with young people; the merits of theorizing childhood
without theorizing children; and how professional philosophy at
once desires and resists a return to childhood. This second volume
in the Philosophy for Children Founders series is an important
resource for philosophers, educators, and anyone interested in
children's philosophical thinking, developmental psychology, what
it means to philosophize with children, the nature of childhood,
and how children's literature goes philosophical. It will guide and
inspire those who share Matthews' conviction that the impulse to
philosophize begins in early childhood. Contributors (in addition
to Gareth B. Matthews): Stephanie Burdick-Shepherd, Cristina
Cammarano, Claire Cassidy, Stanley Cavell, Maughn Rollins Gregory,
Jennifer Glaser, Walter Omar Kohan, Megan Jane Laverty, Jana Mohr
Lone, Karin Murris, Peter Shea, Susan M. Turner, Susannah Sheffer.
