Abstract
The paper is devoted to philosophical understanding of the phenomenon of childhood and its existence within contemporary culture. The processes in modern society make philosophical understanding of the phenomenon of childhood an extremely important problem, without resolving of which the society cannot cope with the crisis of the society itselfand the crisis of childhood. Considering childhood as the strategic potential of any society, the author indicates the lack of a unified philosophical reduction of this phenomenon, as well as the problem of domination in the society of the traditional style of thinking about children based on the typical social and educational stereotypes connected with the priority of the adult world. In the author's opinion,further existence of these stereotypes can lead to the loss of childhood as the beginning of any personality and the culture in general.
