metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is centered at the main approaches to the definition of the concept of a child within
  the framework of the philosophy of childhood. The position of child in the contemporary society
  is ambiguous: on the one hand, the life of a child is often placed above the life of an adult,
  or at least is valued higher than his expected contribution; on the other hand, the interests and
  desires of children are not really significant for adults and are not taken into account in the
  process of making decisions, even when they touch the children’s essential needs. One of the
  main modern approaches in the field of the philosophy of childhood, which is an attempt to
  explain this fact, suggests that a child is a future adult, first of all. Despite the obvious advantages
  of this approach ‘child as a little adult’, this concept does not fully meet the requirements
  of the contemporary digital age; it is rather evident when analyzing the interaction between a
  child and an adult, since this approach is not able to adequately meet needs and values of the
  modern digital society. Quite contrary to this, we suggest to consider the concept of childhood
  within the framework of the cultural-historical ideas by Vygotsky and his followers, which
  suggests that the central concept in this theory is the idea of development, not limited to growing
  up as a way to shape an adult from a child, but considered as an unconditional right and a biological norm, as well as an integral part of childhood. This will help to improve interaction
  with a child, increase the standard of living of a certain child, as well as the flexibility and
  integrity of the individual, especially under the uncertainty of the expected transformational
  processes of the contemporary digital age.
