Callum McGregor – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2024
This paper mobilises the psychoanalytic concepts of desire and enjoyment to better understand how processes of education aimed at extending and defending democratic life might respond to and engage with populist politics. I approach this task by engaging with a particular vector of Mouffe and Laclau's political philosophy, moving from a critique…

Brady, Alison M. – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2022
This paper seeks to reconceptualise the basis for trusting teachers in current educational discourses. It proposes moving away from trust based on 'absolute accuracy' to trust as encapsulated in the practice of parrhesia. On the surface, parrhesia appears to be the opposite of Sartre's concept of 'bad faith'. Paradoxically, however, our attempts…

Parker, Lana – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2022
From a Levinasian perspective, the interaction between two people is an ethical encounter, a face-to-face interaction that calls the subject into question and renders them vulnerable to the ritual of rupture. But what if your embodiment renders you, in the moment of encounter, less than human? How can we bring the imperative of pre-ontological…

Keij, Daan – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2021
This article assesses Bernard Stiegler's critique of infantilization. Contemporary education--and society in general--would no longer develop children into adults, but would keep them in their childish state. Stiegler's critique is explicitly inspired by Enlightenment ideals, characterized by a positive notion of maturity and a negative notion of…

Bojesen, Emile – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2021
Through readings of Jacques Derrida's "Of Grammatology" and 'The Age of Hegel', attention is given to two of the problematic types of relationships that philosophy can have with education (exemplified through Derrida's readings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and G.W.F. Hegel). These engagements, alongside a reading of 'The Antinomies of the…

Pulkki, Jani; Varpanen, Jan; Mullen, John – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2021
While human beings generally act prosocially towards one another -- contra a Hobbesian "war of all against all" -- this basic social courtesy tends not to be extended to our relations with the more-than-human world. Educational philosophy is largely grounded in a worldview that privileges human-centered conceptions of the self, valuing…

Hajir, Basma; Kester, Kevin – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2020
This paper argues for a decolonial praxis in critical peace education. Drawing on an integrative review method, the paper synthesises approaches, practices, and theories from peace and peace education literature with special attention paid to the concepts of critical peace education, cosmopolitanism, postcolonial thought, and decolonial action.…

Zembylas, Michalinos – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2020
This paper argues that it is important for educators in democratic education to understand how the rise of right-wing populism in Europe, the United States and around the world can never be viewed apart from the affective investments of populist leaders and their supporters to essentialist ideological visions of nationalism, racism, sexism and…

Hållander, Marie – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2019
This article discusses the relation between emotions and testimony, by asking the questions: What do emotions do? Are emotions possible and desirable starting points for teaching difficult and complex subjects such as injustice and historical wounds? This article explores the 2015 image and testimony of Alan Kurdi, lying on a beach of the…

Kuntz, Aaron M.; Petrovic, John E. – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2018
In this article we consider the material dimensions of schooling as constitutive of the possibilities inherent in "fixing" education. We begin by mapping out the problem of "fixing education," pointing to the necrophilic tendencies of contemporary education--a desire to kill what otherwise might be life-giving. In this sense,…

Dumitru, Adelin Costin – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2018
In this paper I make a contribution to three distinct, but deeply interwoven subjects. Firstly, I argue that, at the level of ideal theory, the distribution of educational goods should follow a sufficientarian pattern and that the evaluative space of children's advantage should be inspired by the capability approach (although with an important…

Dozono, Tadashi – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2018
This essay introduces Walter Benjamin's historical materialism to illuminate how history teachers may invoke a critique of the past and present through democratizing the production of knowledge in the classroom. Historical materialism gives students access to the means of knowledge production and entrusts them with the task of generating a…

Zipory, Oded – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2018
Over the last 20 years, there has been an increase in philosophical inquiries of hope both in philosophy of mind and of virtue as well as in the philosophy of education. This paper wishes to add to this discussion by presenting the analysis of hope by French existentialist philosopher and theologian Gabriel Marcel and examining its possible…

Bradley, Joff P. N. – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2018
In thinking the passage from the "all-human cerebrum" (H.G. Wells) to what one might call the contemporary "all-too-human" cerebrum in neo-liberal societies and beyond to the "all-too-transhuman" cerebrum in the cybernetic society, in contrasting Wells's idea of a new world order with the dystopia of the disordering…

Lilja, Peter – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2018
For a long time, one of the most important tasks for education in liberal democracies has been to foster the next generation in core democratic values in order to prepare them for future political responsibilities. In spite of this, general trust in the liberal democratic system is in rapid decline. In this paper, the tension between the ambitions…
