Philosophy Dialogue and Education is an advanced introduction to nine key European social philosophers: Martin Buber Mikhail Bakhtin Lev Vygotsky Hannah Arendt Emmanuel Levinas Maurice Merleau-Ponty Simone Weil Michael Oakeshott and JÃrgen Habermas. This detailed yet highly readable work positions the socio-political views of each philosopher within a European tradition of dialogical philosophy; and reflects on the continuing theoretical relevance of the work of each to education generally and to critical pedagogy. The discussion in each chapter is informed by materials drawn from various scholarly sources in English and is enriched by materials from other languages particularly French German and Russian. This enhances the comparative European cultural perspective of the book; and connects the work of each philosopher to wider intellectual political and social debates. The book will appeal to academics postgraduates and researchers working in philosophy philosophy of education and in educational cultural and social studies more generally. Advanced undergraduate students would also benefit from the bookâs discussion of primary sources and the authorsâ suggestions for further reading. . Language: English
