Peterson, Thomas Erling – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2014
Agamben's philosophy of education can be arrived at by focusing on the nexus of philology, philosophy and poetry that is prominent in his work.

Aldridge, David – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2014
Pádraig Hogan has argued for a powerful conception of education as epiphany that is illuminated by the work of Heidegger and Joyce. But what are we to make of Stephen Dedalus' intention (pretension?) to "Remember your epiphanies"? Developing the phenomenological Erinnerungsversuch or "essay in memory" of David Farrell…

Mintz, Avi I. – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2014
Plato's "Apology of Socrates" contains a spirited account of Socrates' relationship with the city of Athens and its citizens.

Many scholars have…
