Children as Philosophers: Solved? Part 1

Part 1: Introduction

The intervening time between this and my previous post on Children as Philosophers has presented me with my most complete thinking on the subject to date.

Children are Developmental (Or Natural) Surrealists

This, of course, is a term of my own invention which I will define here later. Rather than writing a treatise on the natural philosophy of children, I will discuss my thinking on this topic in segments discussing the beliefs and behaviour of children within the context of the beliefs (primarily the Surrealist Manifestos) and artifacts of the surrealist movement.

    Does this mean I am a deconstructionist?

    I like your new term. Let’s get a complete definition of it. I also like how you are taking a decidedly epistemological angle on the question. Everyone knows little humans are hedonists… so are big humans. But how do those mushy little brains work? That’s the question! I want to hear more. Post more on this subject soon!

    More is coming on this, I just need to space them out because I am trying to shoehorn a lot of projects into my free time.
