Alison Gopnik, a famed developmental psychologist, talks about what she calls The Philosophical Baby, children’s consciousness, and their ideas of love and morality. She thinks “there is good reason to believe that babies are actually smarter, more thoughtful, and even more conscious than adults.” What do you think?

Thanks for the article.
I have always thought this of young children, and frequently suggest to scholars and parents that children are in fact very patient with us adults! I am glad to see at least one other scholar who understands something of children's insights. To any who are reading this, remember back to when you decided what was important in life, and what your parents were like? You were young, and those are foundations to who you are today and what you beieve in - children are very serious thinkers and have quite mature emotions. We confuse this with their size and their vulnerability to harm from those who are much bigger and often sneaky, that is from those who abuse them because they can.
Thanks for the video... :)
thank you!

Thanks for the info.

Too bad adulthood gets in the way. I love looking in the eyes of children. That's when you see a pure human in most cases. I would like to see studies done on when they are even younger. At this age, they have already been influenced by adults.
