Abstract
This chapter explores the educational possibilities of an experience of philosophy with illiterate and marginalized students in a public school taking part in the same project described in the previous chapter. It also presents a practice of reconstruction of the childlike subject, who is not a chronological child but a chronological adult experiencing a childlike education through philosophy.
