Description

This philosophical examination challenges conventional assumptions about childhood and compulsory education by offering an anti-Aristotelian perspective on how we understand young people in society. The book critically explores whether childhood and adulthood should be treated as entirely separate realms, moving beyond historical philosophical traditions that derived from Plato and Aristotle. Those classical thinkers portrayed children as unreasonable and incomplete, lacking the formal and final causes attributed to rational adults-a framework that has persisted through different ideological lenses, from Puritanism to Romanticism. This study from Continuum's educational research series reconstructs how we conceptualise childhood development and questions the philosophical foundations underlying the modern belief that compulsory education serves as a necessary social good. It provides readers with a fresh theoretical framework for understanding the relationship between childhood experience and educational systems.

Key Features

Continuum Studies in Educational Research series offering rigorous philosophical analysis of childhood and compulsory education.

Critically examines Aristotelian and Platonic philosophical traditions that have shaped Western views of children and reasoning.

Addresses whether childhood and adulthood constitute separate philosophical realms or exist on a continuum.

Explores how different ideological movements-Puritanism and Romanticism-have perpetuated assumptions about childhood nature despite opposing rhetoric.

Published by Continuum International Publishing Group, providing scholarly perspectives on educational philosophy and theory.
