This chapter challenges adult-centered notions of personhood, which lie at the basis of the current discussion on first-person authority. It examines the role assigned to children in philosophical discourse arguing that addressing the book’s central question calls for a conception of personhood that is both non-intellectualized and non-individualistic. Finally, it suggests that focusing on communicative social interactions––the locus of first-person authority––and how we treat each other as persons within that sphere offers an alternative basis for a more inclusive conception of personhood.
