In his book "World-Centred Education," Biesta discusses two themes fundamental for the emergence of subjectivity as a desirable existential humane state of being and for an education that aims to achieve it. The first theme is about freedom and the importance of distancing education and teaching from any act of objectifying students. The…

This article considers a subset of lawsuits in which emancipated people sued to have their enslavers' bequests to them honored. It contends that we should see these suits as contests over reparations. By exploring this unappreciated history, this article argues that enslavers themselves believed reparations were due and were willing to pay them,…

Contemporary scholars have called for more diverse conceptions and practices of alternative 'democratic' education to contest the increasingly neoliberal and neoconservative educational systems. The current study responds to this call by exploring how the notion of 'democratic' education can be enriched using the contextual practices of education…

Kant's life shows us that it is possible to be a philosopher who revolutionises our thinking about morality in terms of freedom--in fact, to be the first to propose that treating others morally is to treat them with respect or as having dignity--while simultaneously dehumanising himself and others. It presumably follows from this that we can teach…
