Re-educating thinking
John Dewey stated that ‘[h]owever far apart philosophy and educational theory may later have become, in their beginnings they were strictly identical.' Dewey's ‘progressivism' in Democracy and Education rests on this communion. A self-reflective philosophical education by the community, about the community, for the community, would create the conditions for the advance of social justice. But new progressive ideas championing redistributive justic…
Contradiction of Enlightenment
Dialectic of enlightenment
This chapter examines the one-sided interpretations of circle of enlightenment, and argues that it is from the experience of contradiction, and not its presupposition as positive or negative, that the education of our philosophical consciousness is determinative. It explores the despairing teacher as being precisely the self-defeating dialectic in which enlightenment traps itself. The overcoming of myth by enlightenment is present even in its mos…

Postmodernism—know thyself
There never was postmodernism. It was just another turning of the wheel of Western philosophical experience. It was another round of scepticism regarding a tradition that was always already a scept

Green metaphysics
Liberal arts education has carried with it the tradition of a virtuous elite. The metaphysics that accompanies this elitism has its own ground in the master and slave relation of Antiquity. But a different metaphysics offers itself now for liberal arts, one which can be argued to be ‘green’, by being sustainable and renewable without the exploitation of the resources and labours of others. It might seem strange to argue that liberal arts should b…
Gillian Rose and Education
Philosophy—practicing with or without ground—first attends Dr. Land. She diagnoses the end of philosophy and recommends it terminate its activities. Disconcerted by this, philosophy also attends Dr. Grove. He sweeps his arm across his desk, pushing aside the proliferating reports on the death of philosophy that litter his desk. Tell me, he invites, who you are and how you are? Philosophy relates its history. What is it that you want to know, asks…
Philosophy and Modern Liberal Arts Education
This book argues for a modern version of liberal arts education, exploring first principles within the divine comedy of educational logic. By reforming the three philosophies of metaphysics, nature an
Howard Caygill on resistance
Howard Caygill’s On Resistance (2013) is changing the landscape of how the concept of resistance is understood. In his book, he theorises a concept of resistance rooted in the Kantian aporia of judgement, in the Hegelian notion of Force, in Clausewitz’s idea of resistance as a capacity and in the Nietzschean notion of affirmation. He employs these against philosophies of dialectic and resolution. I trace these themes back through some of his earl…
The Value of the Arts
The value of the arts is often measured in terms of human creativity against instrumental rationality, while art for art's sake defends against a utility of art. Such critiques of the technical and formulaic are themselves formulaic, repeating the dualism of the head and the heart. How should we account for this formula? We should do so by investigating its determination within metaphysical and social relations, ancient and modern, and by compreh…
Existentialism and Humanism
Humanitas , Metaphysics and Modern Liberal Arts
There is a new myth of the heterogeneous that is reducing the concept of humanity to a sinful enlightenment. In this article I investigate the contribution that a renewed understanding of liberal arts education might offer for the idea of a humanist education and for the concept of humanity; and this at a time when not only the concept of humanity per se, and of a humanist education in particular are suspected of Western imperialism and rational …

History of Western philosophy
Nigel Tubbs takes the history of Western philosophy to be the search for first principles. Arguing that neo-Platonic logic, fundamentally misunderstanding the negative, posited philosophical thought as error. Kant and Hegel later re-educated the modern mind about negation in logic, transforming the way modern philosophy contests first principles

Mind the Gap
This article explores the implications of Gillian Rose's social and political theory of modernity. For Rose, modernity not only construes `the autonomous moral subject as free within the order of representations and unfree within its preconditions and outcomes' (1996: 57), it is also `the working out of that combination' (ibid.). The implications of this view are explored below, concentrating in particular on the way Rose tackled the aporias and …

Hegel's educational theory and practice
This article examines four related aspects of Hegel's approach to the teaching of philosophy and to the philosophy of the teacher. Specifically, it highlights some of the views Hegel expressed on education in general whilst Rector of the Nuremberg gymnasium; describes his opinions on the place of philosophy within the school curriculum and the structure of the philosophy course which he designed for his pupils; examines the pedagogy which he empl…
