This book presents new findings that deal with different facets of the well-being of children and their relevance to the proper treatment of children. The well-being of children is considered against the background of a wide variety of legal, political, medical, educational and familial perspectives. The book addresses diverse issues from a range of disciplinary perspectives using a variety of methods. It has three major sections with the essays in each section loosely organized about a common general theme. The first section focuses on issues concerning the relation between children’s well-being and autonomy or agency. The second section deals with child well-being insofar as the limits of parental authority are concerned. The third section has a more applied orientation and addresses a variety of public policy controversies involving the interpretation of children’s well-being.

Das Problem des perzeptiven Wissens artikuliert sich in der Frage, wie die Wahrnehmung das empirische Wissen epistemisch rechtfertigen kann. Als Arbeitshypothese wird angenommen, dass das Problem des perzeptiven Wissens ein Sammelbegriff fur eine Reihe von Problemen ist. Diese sind auf unterschiedliche Weise zu formulieren, je nachdem, welche Annahmen uber die Begriffe Wahrnehmung' und epistemische Rechtfertigung' gemacht werden. In diesem Buch werden zwei Hauptthesen begrundet: erstens, dass das Problem des perzeptiven Wissens nicht gelost werden kann, und zweitens, dass das Problem des perzeptiven Wissens therapierbar ist."
