Civil Society S Education - Reflections On The Informal Roots Of Learning

by Christopher Winch

~~34,57€~~ 31,11€ 10% OFF

 <b>This book examines the relationship between the educational activities of civil society and those of the state via three case studies in vocational education, political education, and educational markets.</b> Winch argues that the narrower educational activities of the state cannot be understood independently of those that take place in civil society which consists of institutions such as families, churches, businesses, trade unions, charities and political associations. Drawing on arguments and ideas in the work of Hume, Wittgenstein, Rhees, Vico, Hegel and Gramsci and building on the work of authors such as Bakhurst, Roedl and Hamlyn, the book breaks new ground in offering a philosophical account of civil society and the place of education within it. It is relevant to a range of societies, including those without a state or where the state has little influence, located in geographically and temporally diverse contexts.

What'S The Good Of Education? - A Philosophy Of Persons In Practices

by Joseph Dunne

~~107,33€~~ 96,60€ 10% OFF

 <b>An<i> Irish Times </i>Best Book for Summer 2025</b><br/><b><b><br/></b>In this book Joseph Dunne exposes the damage done by obsession with measurable </b><b>outcomes in schools and universities. </b>He argues for an education that respects the interpersonal fabric of learning and teaching, and that takes account of difficulties in late modern societies regarding childhood, citizenship, the relative prestige accorded to different kinds of knowledge, and the forging by individuals of a coherent identity across a whole life-course. To ask about good education, he claims, is necessarily to pose the larger question of the human good. Central to the book is a concern to elucidate the kind of practices that can best help persons to pursue this good, a concern that deepens through reflection in the final chapters on the challenges and fulfilments opened by the spiritual dimension of human life. Making his case in a series of inter-related essays, Dunne draws on his decades-long experience in teacher-education, informed by a reading of classical Greek philosophy and of several recent thinkers - including Raimond Gaita, Alasdair MacIntyre, Iris Murdoch and Charles Taylor - who are key conversation partners throughout.

Teaching Historical Narratives - A Philosophical Inquiry Into The Virtues Of Historical Interpretation

by Jon A. Levisohn

~~34,57€~~ 31,11€ 10% OFF

 <b>With this book Jon Levisohn argues that current history education is set up in a way that sees students of history at one end of a continuum with the academic experts in the field of history at the other, and where the goal of history education is to help students to think like historians. </b><br/><br/>Building on a critical engagement with Carl Hempel, Hayden White, and David Carr, as well as contemporary work in virtue epistemology, Levisohn proposes a new theory of historiography which serves as a set of guidelines for the teaching and learning of history. According to the theory, the work of historiography is best characterized as a negotiation among narratives, weaving together received narratives with new information and ideas in order to construct a new narrative. This negotiation happens with a particular orientation towards negative evidence or ''flexible disconfirmationism'', and is assessed according to the openness, sensitivity, responsibility, creativity, boldness and humility, i.e. the virtues of historical interpretation. The book rethinks the work of history education, offering new ways of thinking about the goals of the teaching of history, namely, in terms of the cultivation of the interpretive virtues.

Postcolonial Education And National Identity - An Arendtian Re-Imagination

by Rowena Azada-Palacios

~~34,57€~~ 31,11€ 10% OFF

 <b>Recognizing the strategic role that national identities play in post-colonial struggles for justice, this book conceptualizes a new approach to teaching national identity that, following Hannah Arendt, emphasizes children''s ability to renew culture.</b> The book uses the Philippine colonial experience as a case study, and includes a genealogy of Hannah Arendt''s concept of the ''social'', including an analysis of how she used this idea to explore the role that schools play within the political community. Azada-Palacios problematizes the way that national identity is valued as an educational goal in Philippine schools and the way that Philippine citizenship education continues to aspire towards a homogeneity of culture. Through an examination of colonial-era documents, she traces this characteristic of colonial history, and identifies this aspiration as an unreflective perpetuation of American colonial educational policy that has not been sufficiently criticized.
