Granularity: An Ontological Inquiry Into Justice and Holistic Education

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents an original exploration of philosophical questions pertaining to the ways we grasp the Absolute by bringing together the Buddhist notion of interpermeation of all phenomena into contemporary strains of thought in continental philosophy. This text introduces an ontological concept, granularity, deploying it to probe questions concerning the intersection of ontology, ethics, and education. A wide range of issues in metaphysics are covered-including being, nothingness, unity, plurality, truth, change, transformation, subjectivity, contradiction, coherence, potentiality-from the perspective of thinkers such as Hegel, Heidegger, Badiou, Meillassoux, Malabou, Zizek, and Harman. The text deploys granularity in arguing for an ethics of unconditional hospitality within education. This volume is intended for students and researchers working in the areas of philosophy of education, philosophy of religion, and continental philosophy.

Autorenporträt

Dr. ¿evket Benhür Oral is a senior researcher at Vytautas Kavolis Interdisciplinary Research Institute at Vytautas Magnus University. His early focus was on Deweyan pragmatist aesthetics. In his dissertation, he elaborated what he terms "the ideal of teaching as consummatory experience" in relation to Dewey's concept of "experience" as the latter was elucidated in Dewey's later works, especially, Art as Experience and Experience and Nature. Dr. Oral feels most at home engaging with contemporary issues in continental philosophy and continental philosophy of education. He is also interested in Chinese Buddhist ontologies, especially Tiantai Buddhism. He deploys these schools of thought to inquire into what we can broadly refer to as transformations of human subjectivity.
