In this episode of The Philosophy of Child Rearing, hosts Luara Ferracioli and Ryan Cox explore the moral obligations of parents and society towards young children. They are joined by Anca Gheaus, a prominent philosopher of childhood, who discusses her influential views on family justice, particularly regarding parental authority and custody decisions.
