Is philosophy of education Western? Views from Asia and beyond
Ecologising moral education in the anthropocene: Learning to be authentic non-self
In the Anthropocene epoch, human activity is ubiquitous on Earth. However, this does not imply that nature is entirely under human control. The growing number of natural disasters that afflict human beings demonstrates the limitations of human abilities. Unfortunately, many of these catastrophes are caused by humans themselves. The adversity caused by human activity indicates that the current approach to education, which prioritises humanity abov…

Collective writing: Introspective reflections on current experience
Sonja Arndt, Michael Peters, Marek Tesar Introspection is a key concept in epistemology, since introspective knowledge is often thought to be particularly secure, maybe even immune to skeptical doubt. Introspective knowledge is also often held to be more immediate or direct than sensory knowledge. Both of these putative features of introspection have been cited in support of the idea that introspective knowledge can serve as a ground or foundatio…

Ethics of memory: Forgetfulness and forgiveness in the traumatic place
Human beings tend to forget, especially when they suffer; they hope to overcome the pain of trauma to live a peaceful and happy life. The futurist attitude that can be articulated as ‘Move towards the future and let bygones be bygones’ may be related to injustice and social crisis. The aim of this paper is to explore the ethics of memory and forgetting regarding the place. This paper addresses three observations about memory and forgetting in cur…

The Confucian Concept of Learning Revisited for East Asian Humanistic Pedagogies
This special issue on the Confucian concept of learning was self-consciously, if not self-critically, framed by scholars in the field of philosophy of education whose cultural roots lie in the East
Lost in Space? Located in place: Geo‐phenomenological exploration and school
This paper aims at revealing the various meanings of schools as more than built physical environments from a geographical‐phenomenological (or ‘geo‐phenomenological’) perspective. This paper consists of five sections: the first explicates the meaning of ‘geo‐phenomenology’; the second reveals the meaning of ‘environment’ and a dialectics of strangeness and intimacy through geo‐phenomenological analysis; the third examines the meanings of environm…
A Critique of Confucian Learning: On Learners and Knowledge
In Confucianism, the subject of learning is one of the most important concerns. For centuries, Confucian thinkers have been devoted to seeking answers to questions such as, how to be a morally noble and decent human being? (成人), how to be a true and moral human being—a noble man? (junzi, 君子) and how to learn to be a junzi? A ‘junzi’ can be described as ‘an ideal person’. For Confucian thinkers, the concept of learning is not only an epistemologic…
A critical trilogy of place: Dwelling in/on an irritated place
The aim of this paper is to explore the meaning of dwelling in place in terms of the critical trilogy of place. The critical trilogy is a constructively interpretive framework incorporating Greenwood’s critical pedagogy of place and Heidegger’s philosophical insights of dwelling. The critical trilogy of place, comprising decentralisation, reinhabitation, and regermination, demonstrates the profound meaning of the relationship between human beings…

Caring About Strangers: A Lingisian reading of Kafka’s Metamorphosis
This article explores a significant question, implicit in Kafka’s novel Metamorphosis, explicitly asked by Rorty: ‘Can I care about a stranger?’ Alphonso Lingis’s view is adopted to overcome a mainstream belief that there is a distinction between my community and the stranger’s community, or us community and the community of those who have nothing in common. His view is thus beneficial to reveal the in-depth paradoxical meaning in the relationshi…

To Be As Not To Be: In Search of an Alternative Humanism in the Light of Early Daoism and Deconstruction
Humanism and humanistic education have been recognised as an issue of the utmost importance, whether in the East or in the West. Underpinning the Eastern and Western humanism is a common belief that there is an essence or essences of humanness. In the Confucian tradition, the core of humanity lies in the idea of ‘ren’; in the Platonic tradition, ‘rationality’. For some critics, this belief may lead to violence as much as justice. One way to be aw…
In Search of Ecopedagogy: Emplacing Nature In the Light of Proust and Thoreau
In this article I intend to explore one possible way of using place to rethink nature, the relationship between humans and nature, and the implications for education. The elucidation and discussion of the sense of place will reveal that there are profound and superficial or, placeful and placeless, senses of place. This paper examines the possibilities of thinking nature based on this particular sense of place. The profound sense of place, in the…

Is ecological sustainability consonant or dissonant with human rights? Identifying theoretical issues in peace education
During the twentieth century, there were increasing concerns about forms of violence and, also, increased interest in peace education. There are various approaches of peace education. And, since all the approaches aim at the same goal—peacemaking—the basic assumptions of the different approaches must agree, otherwise there will be internal inconsistencies in peace education theory. This article examines different concepts, perspectives and implic…

A Lifeworld Critique of ‘Nature’ in the Taiwanese Curriculum: A perspective derived from Husserl and Merleau‐Ponty
Learning about ‘nature’ has particular significance for education because the idea of nature is an important source of inspiring meaning‐rich experience and creation. In order to have meaningful experiences in learning and living, this paper argues for a personal subject‐related lifeworld approach to the learning of ‘nature’. Many authors claim that the lifeworld‐led learning approach helps to enrich educational experience. However, there can be …
Being human or being a citizen? Rethinking human rights and citizenship education in the light of Agamben and Merleau-Ponty
This paper argues against a trend of human rights education, where human rights are taught in the form of citizenship education. In my view, citizenship education and human rights education cannot be taken as replaceable for each other. Underpinning the idea of citizenship is a distinction between 'politically qualified' and 'politically unqualified' persons. This distinction implies a violation of human rights in the name of social solidarity an…

Learning as Existential Engagement With/In Place: Departing from Vandenberg and the Reams
This article takes Vandenberg’s critique of Ream and Ream’s view on the Deweyan learning environment as a departing point to explore the educational meaning of place. The divergence between Vandenberg and the Reams reminds us that the place is not merely a physical site for learners to be located in but also a horizon to be engaged with. Vandenberg and the Reams provide readers with inspirational understandings of Dewey in different aspects. Yet …
