| when I refer to society and its government. That's not to say children aren't a part of a society, but they have no voice in its running, and are generally treated as either exempt from the consequences of law, or to be dealt with as highly specialized cases. Hobbes' Leviathan, from which Matt drew the quote, deals with society and its governance in more general terms, and therefore only with those who can make decisions that affect government. Children are their parents' affair; the parents are the ones who must answer to society and thus to the Leviathan. |
