110: What is a Child?

from Philosophy Talk Starters Hosted by Philosophy Talk Starters

More at http://philosophytalk.org/shows/what-child. Back in the middle ages, people thought of children simply as little adults. Modern psychology has destroyed that theory. But then, what is a child? How are their minds different? And what are the moral implications of these differences for how we should treat them? Join John and Ken as they reflect on the nature of childhood with Tamar Schapiro from Stanford University.
