ABSTRACT
This article analyzes childhood by the philosophical-anthropology perspective. Different ideologies connect children and their infancies to models or patterns that, in truth, are particular formulations and represent interests of groups, in special of those that exert some form of power to impose to society a crystallized conception of childhood. The singularity of child’s caricature drawn by “philosophies” displays refractory perceptions of infancy; from them certain concepts had been demarcated, profitably reproduced and very little questioned by occidental pedagogy following developments.
