Interpreting Kant for Education (eBook, ePUB)

Dissolving Dualisms and Embodying Mind

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

INTERPRETING KANT FOR EDUCATION No thinker in the modern world has laid the way for the development of philosophy so influentially as Immanuel Kant, and it is hard to think of the philosophy of education without some sense of Kant in the background. Yet simplified exegeses and synoptic accounts abound, making for a 'Kantian' picture that readily succumbs to caricature. Interpreting Kant for Education exposesthe errors in this picture. Through a spiralling series of arguments, Sheila Webb dismantles the sclerotic dualisms of fact and value, subject and object, and body and mind that have done so much to hamper appreciation of Kant and to harm education. This ground-breaking work in the philosophy of education allows a reappraisal of Kant; it plays its part in the reengagement with Kant in the wider analytic tradition and provides a secure footing for better research and practice in education.
