A reconsideration of the philosophical destiny of education
What is education? This volume collects some of the key voices in contemporary thought, including Alain Badiou, Catherine Malabou and Jacques Ranciere, to think through this question from their unique perspectives. Revealing the contentions and possibilities of a new engagement with the question of education, it will give you new insights into education: what it is, what it is not, and what is to be done about it.
At a time when education is so important as to be considered an essential human right, yet is under attack from funding cuts, this book will open the thinking on education onto new and important territory.
