Wonder has been popularly looked upon as an experience especially prominent in children because both wonder and childhood are viewed to encapsulate moments of seeing for the first time and the beginning of a process of acquiring knowledge. The concept of the wondering child, however, is not an anthropological given, but a figure emerging from the convergence of literary, epistemological and educational discourses since the 18th century.
