contents Infância e educação em Platão Walter Omar Kohan Educación Plato – Childhood – Philosophy of childhood This work investigates from a philosophical perspective the conceptof childhood in Plato, with an emphasis on the following dialogues:Alcibiades I, Gorgias, The Republic, and The Laws.Initially, we situate the issue of childhood within the wider scenarioof Plato’s political and philosophical project. We then propose fourmain features of the concept of childhood in Plato: a) as possibility(children can become anything in future); b) as inferiority (children– like women, foreigners and slaves – are inferior to the male adultcitizen); c) as superfluousness (childhood is not necessary to thepolis ), and d) as matter of politics (the utopia is built from theeducation of children).It has not been our intention here to put Plato on trial. We havejust sought to delimit an issue and a specific manner of tackling itwith the aim of contributing to the analysis of the productivity ofthis perspective in the history of the philosophy of childhood and ofWestern education, as well as of current education theories andpractices. At the same time, we have implicitly tried to offerelements to problematize a vision well established among historiansof childhood – particularly after Philippe Ariès already classicCenturies of childhood: a social history of family life – according towhich childhood would be a modern invention and would not havebeen “thought” as such by the ancients. 2003 artículo científico 1517-9702 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=29829102 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=298 Educação e Pesquisa application/pdf Universidade de São Paulo Educação e Pesquisa (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.29
