Childism extends child-liberation ethics into mainstream philosophy

Evidence

John Wall. Ethics in Light of Childhood (2010) is the most ambitious philosophical extension of the recovery. Wall — a Rutgers University ethicist — articulates a “childism” framework, analogous to contemporary feminism’s engagement with the philosophical-ethical tradition’s neglected gender-theological material. Wall extends the recovery into the broader contemporary ethical-philosophical conversation. — , The Rod and the Child, 3398
