In this book I do not try to give a full account of what might
be included in this new subject, the philosophy of childhood.
Instead, | present a personal response to some of the issues that
belong to it. But in presenting a philosophy of childhood, indeed,
something of my own philosophy of childhood, | hope to help
secure a place in the philosophy curriculum of the future for the
philosophy of childhood as a genuine area of academic research,
writing, and teaching.
