Children as Philosophers
Dec 16, 2010While licking a pot, six-year-old Tim asks: "Papa, how can we be sure that everything is not a dream?" His father admits he has no idea. Tim says "Well, I don't think everything is a dream, ‘cause in a dream people wouldn't go around asking if it was a dream."
这是加雷思·马修斯的一个例子,他是一位哲学家,他对儿童是自然哲学家这一观点很感兴趣;他们提出有趣的哲学问题,并给出有趣的答案。
