Childhood

More about the book

Challenging traditional views of mortality as the cornerstone of the human experience, Michael Eskin proposes that the essence of humanity lies in the universal condition of childhood. He argues that our lifelong awareness of being someone's child shapes our values, relationships, and aspirations. Through an in-depth analysis of this 'condicio pueritiae,' Eskin explores the ontological, existential, and ethical dimensions of childhood, revealing new insights into human potential and responsibilities that redefine our understanding of existence.
