Abstract

Childhood and philosophizing are the kinds of being, not only social or natural being, but existence – being of a Subject, creating the self- world. All children are creators. The childhood doesn’t leave at all, it is retained, transforming, acquiring new forms of existence. Thus, the loss of the childhood is the loss of the integrity of Life-World. So, it means, we are all children, and when we stop being children, we are not human beings any more. Every human being is a philosopher. Philosophizing becomes an existence or a kind of Subject’s being by creating of the world. Philosophizing is one of the ways of this creation. We construct our own world in our minds and imagination. The kids do the same. Children’s philosophizing is an organic process of thinking developmentally. In this sense all children are creators and philosophers much like the classical Demiurge.
