The New Slavery, or Chrysalization of Class
Get PDFThis paper shows that emergence of modern childhood can be explained by a need to secure unpaid labor of school-aged children by means of extra-economic coercion. The pre-modern Europe needed to compel a growing segment of population to participate in unpaid work of schooling. The task was accomplished by creating a group with limited rights, and by convincing everyone that the labor of schooling is actually a kind of service provided to children.

Plato finds ways to remind us constantly of his favorite teachings, and recollection would be particularly relevant at important moments in Symposium and Republic, which offer different models of innate ideas instead: in place of the non-dispositional model of recollection, which implies the innate possession of the content of the knowledge to be acquired, these dialogues offer dispositional models such as mental pregnancy, in which the actual content of knowledge is not innately present but the product of a specialized innate potentiality being actualized through specific kinds of experience and mental activity
