Thinking, Childhood, and Time: Contemporary Perspectives on the
Politics of Education is an interdisciplinary exploration of the
notion of childhood and its place in a philosophical education.
Contributors consider children's experiences of time, space,
embodiment, and thinking. By acknowledging Hannah Arendt's notion
that every child brings a new beginning into the world, they
address the question of how educators can be more responsive to the
Otherness that childhood offers, while assuming that most
educational models follow either a chronological model of child
development or view children as human beings that are lacking. This
book explores childhood as a philosophical concept in children,
adults, and even beyond human beings-Childhood as a (forgotten)
dimension of the world. Contributors also argue that a pedagogy
that does not aim for an "exodus of childhood," but rather responds
to the arrival of a new human being responsibly (dialogically),
fosters a deeper appreciation of the newness that children bring in
order to sensitize us for our own Childhood as adults as well and
allow us to welcome other forms of childhood in the world. As a
whole, this book argues that the experience of natality, such as
the beginning of life, is not chronologically determined, but
rather can occur more than once in a human life and beyond.
Scholars of philosophy, education, psychology, and childhood
studies will find this book particularly useful.
