Visões de filosofia: infancia

Abstract

This essay draws some lines on the relationship between infancy and philosophy. Socrates and Lyotard are the two mains inspiring figures. The former, as an infant of philosophy, who gave an infancy, not only chronological, to philosophy, as way of life. The later, with his concept of infantia, as a form of the inhuman that accompanies every human being in his whole life. From these two inspirations, this essay draws different relationships between childhood and philosophy with concepts like time, school, politics and arts.
