Dete i odrasli u svetlu fenomenoloških shvatanja M. Merlo-Pontija

Abstract

The paper offers an analysis of the child-adult relationship problems in the context of the phenomenological psychology and pedagogy of M. Merleau-Ponty. The authors first outline Merleau-Ponty's key philosophical standpoint on which he builds his views on psychological and pedagogical problems. The paper focuses on the problem of understanding a child's world and the possibility of communication between children and adults, as well as on the problem of children's perception of the world around them. The authors also look at Merleau-Ponty's criticism of Piaget's views on the above-mentioned problems.
