Lega Press is the publisher of the book originally published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers in 2021. It has been translated by Morteza Barati.
How might society benefit if children were recognized as independent thinkers, capable of seeing clearly and contributing in valuable ways to our world? How would children’s lives change if what they said was not often ignored or patronized?
In a series of conversations with children about many of life’s important philosophical questions, “Seen and Not Heard” reveals children as perceptive and original thinkers.
Guided by discussions about the meaning of childhood, friendship, justice and fairness, happiness and death, the book invites us to rethink our beliefs about children and become more receptive to the ways we can learn from them.
