Johan Dahlbeck

Spinoza and Education

Freedom, understanding and empowerment

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers an educational reading of Spinoza's moral theory, setting up a critical dialogue between educational theory and recent studies which highlight the centrality of ethics in Spinoza's overall philosophy. By placing his work in a contemporary educational context, chapters explore a counterintuitive conception of education as an ethical project, aimed at overcoming the desire to seek short-term satisfaction and troubling the influential concept of the student as consumer.
