Crisis, culture and the education of grownups
In arguing that philosophy was the education of grown-ups at the site of conflict between the self and its culture, Stanley Cavell was reflecting the potential of philosophical thought to both provoke crisis and respond to it. Whilst such crises may contain great despair, they also hold out the possibility of something better. This article argues that the philosophical demands made both on us and by us in those moments when we seek a way forward …

Education beyond the limits
This article is a contribution to a suite of articles on violence against women and girls. It sets out the context in which this issue is currently discussed, how it might be understood and how it can be addressed. Education is seen as a key mechanism for the prevention of gender-based violence through the transformation of the attitudes and beliefs that boys and young men hold about women and girls and what it means to be a man. This article con…
Expressing an interest in mental health education
Despite the convergence of approaches to mental health in schools, criticisms have been levelled about the triviality of mindfulness and the reluctance of teachers to encourage more personal expression in the classroom, relying instead on a mixture of ancient practices and modern cognitive behavioural therapy. Furthermore, there are still real problems with self-harming, and the COVID-19 pandemic has placed huge strains on mental health services …

Section 2 Self‐directed Multidisciplinary Learning and Anti‐Consumerism Education
Anxieties of Democracy and Education
The article is an essay on Naoko Saito's recently published book American Philosophy in Translation. We attempt to draw out the central argument of the book as it moves through its eight chapters. The author finds that American philosophy, which she takes to be rooted in pragmatism, whilst it owes much to Dewey, needs to be reconstructed in order to meet contemporary political challenges, with their implications for political education. She asks …

On Not Sparing Others the Trouble of Thinking
Serious words for serious subjects
In this paper, I create philosophical space for the importance of how we say things as an adjunct to attending to what is said, drawing on Stanley Cavell's discussions of moral perfectionism and passionate utterance. In the light of this, I assess claims made for the contribution drama makes to moral education. In Cities of Words, Cavell gestures towards Plato's dialogue Euthyphro, where Socrates asks what kind of disagreement causes hatred and a…
