About this book series
Contemporary
Philosophies and Theories in Education signifies new directions and
possibilities out of a traditional field of philosophy and education. Around
the globe, exciting scholarship that breaks down and reformulates traditions in
the humanities and social sciences is being created in the field of education scholarship.
This series provides a venue for publication by education scholars whose work
reflect the dynamic and experimental qualities that characterize today’s
academy.
The series associates philosophy and theory not exclusively with a cognitive
interest (to know, to define, to order) or an evaluative interest (to judge, to
impose criteria of validity) but also with an experimental and attentive
attitude which is characteristic for exercises in thought that try to find out
how to move in the present and how to deal with the actual spaces and times,
the different languages and practices of education and its transformations
around the globe. It addresses the need to draw on thought across all sorts of
borders and counts amongst its elements the following: the valuing of diverse
processes of inquiry; an openness to various forms of communication, knowledge,
and understanding; a willingness to always continue experimentation that
incorporates debate and critique; and an application of this spirit, as implied
above, to the institutions and issues of education.
Authors for the series come not only from philosophy of education but also from
curriculum studies and critical theory, social sciences theory, and humanities
theory in education. The series incorporates volumes that are trans- and
inner-disciplinary.
The audience for the series includes academics, professionals and students in
the fields of educational thought and theory, philosophy and social theory, and
critical scholarship.
