Philosophy for children and gender inequality
This article explores the close links Ann Margaret Sharp draws between the ethics of care and philosophy for children. Sharp rarely mentions the variable of gender when describing philosophical workshops, even though it is crucial to the ethics of care. I explore a few responses to this issue, which nevertheless support Sharp’s position. This stance entails an assumption that is not self-evident, namely, that early philosophical questioning might have the power to counteract the construction of gender stereotypes during childhood.
