Bildung as educational purpose
This paper develops work undertaken by the After Religious Education project which seeks to reimagine Religious Education in schools for a context in which both religious and non-religious worldviews are taken seriously. One of the longstanding challenges for RE teachers in schools in England has been how to reconcile the broad range of aims and purposes it is supposed to support in a context in which RE is increasingly perceived as confused, inc…
Universal individuals
Are there differences between the pedagogical approaches of East Asian and European cultures regarding the question of how to navigate the complex relations of the universal and the particular, the communal and the individual? By no means an abstract question, it calls for thought in what seems to be an increasingly volatile age: from political and social division and polarization, divergent forces of localization, globalization, and glocalizatio…
The power of exemplarity in religious education
Calls for reframing the subject matter of Religious Education in schools include the tricky question of how to select from a world of potentially interesting and relevant material.Pedagogues have long questioned the educational logic that takes so-called substantive knowledge as its starting point and imagines education to follow a linear path from simple to complex.Scholars of Religious Studies have addressed similar questions of how to bring th…
Joint attention, the pedagogical relation, and pedagogical tact in the age of digital education
This article aims to articulate the richness of the pedagogical relation and pedagogical tact in an age of the near ubiquitous presence of digital education. Drawing on Citton, we argue that there is an ecology of attentional influence that is pedagogically decisive. Our argument proceeds as follows: first, we introduce Citton's theoretical frame; second, we examine the general conception of education that is established and articulated through t…
Does a religious universalism haunt secular religious education
Contemporary theories of non-confessional religious education (RE) imagine the subject as inclusive and non-indoctrinatory. Any latent confessional tendencies towards universalism—encouraging or promoting a singular religious vision—have been exorcised within secular, liberal education systems. But can universalism be so easily avoided? In this article, I argue that some forms of universalism are unjustified, while others are educationally inevit…
Religious influence and its protection
John Tillson’s book Children, Religion and the Ethics of Influence addresses several themes: the ground and nature of ethical responsibility; the means and goals of ethical formative influence; the nature and ground of religious belief. In this article, I focus on the issue of justification for educational influence in general. Attention to this issue could avoid some intractable problems of specifically religious influence, most particularly the…
Reframing curriculum for religious education
This article arises out of work undertaken within the After Religious Education project. It synthesizes the curriculum expertise of established researchers, with the expertise of current teachers of RE in England. A question drives our shared interests: how should we approach curriculum development in RE and how do we justify the approach taken? The article proceeds in three steps. First, we elaborate, contextualize, and justify this question by …
Beyond virtue and vice
Education is astonishingly simple. We have all been through it, whether as children or later in life—indeed, many of us are still going through it in some form or other; we all know what works; and we are all committed to realising its individual and social potential. Such a view of the matter might dispense with the need for philosophy of education altogether as the problems of education are seen as little more than puzzles to be solved. We know…
Indoctrination
The indoctrination debates have been a key feature of the philosophy of education over the past 50 years. While it is generally acknowledged that the pejorative associations of indoctrination only emerged over the last 100 years, those normative associations are widely taken to be an essential part of the concept itself as are the positive connotations of education. I explore some of the problems of assuming that the term must refer to something …
Reduction without Reductionism
School and university teachers of Religious Studies (RS) are caught between presenting the irreducible complexity of their subject matter, and the practicalities of selection and simplification that pedagogy entails. The entanglements of culture, politics and ideology within RS, along with the colonialist and hegemonic histories of the subject, make questions of just representation especially acute. How can educators be inclusive and selective? T…
Between horror and boredom
Where do a child’s morals come from? Interactions with other human beings provide arguably the primary contexts for moral development: family, friends, teachers and other people. It is the artistic products of human activity that this essay considers: literature, film, art, music. Specifically, I will consider some philosophical issues concerning the influence of folk and fairy tales on moral development. I will discuss issues of representation a…
Languages of Love
How we are to understand the formative and informative processes of language? At one level, language is understood as a medium for communicating knowledge through propositions that form or represent cognitive understanding and so can be defined as informative. The concern of this article is to explore the scope of this notion of linguistic and conceptual informing and to consider what it overlooks. I argue that straightforwardly propositional, de…

The hermeneutics of religious understanding in a postsecular age
The argument of this article assumes that religious literacy is urgently needed in the present geopolitical context. Its urgency increases the more religion is viewed in opposition to criticality, as though religion entails an irrational and inviolable commitment, or leap of faith. This narrow view of religion is reinforced by certain rather dogmatic secular framings of religion, which require any and all forms of religious expression to be exclu…
Who’s Afraid of Secularisation? Reframing the Debate Between Gearon and Jackson
This paper examines the debate between Liam Gearon and Robert Jackson concerning the politicisation of religious education. The debate concerns the extent to which secularisation frames religious education by inculcating politically motivated commitments to tolerance, respect and human rights. Gearon is critical of a supposed ‘counter-secularisation’ narrative that, he argues, underpins the REDCo project (Religion in Education. A Contribution to …
Mystical Theology and Continental Philosophy
Attention is a mysterious faculty.It seems to knit together experiences, attitudes, histories, skills, dispositions, intuitions and manifold other aspects of lived experience such that discussions of it cut across a range of domains, from, for example, cognitive neuroscience and educational theory to ancient philosophies of Vedanta and Buddhism.Taking its cue from the title of the volume, this chapter examines attention by drawing together strand…
Managing and Resolving Workplace Conflict
In recent years many employers in the U.S., Great Britain, Ireland, and elsewhere, often in partnership with their unions, have turned to new approaches to managing and resolving workplace disputes. In the U.S. this movement is often called "alternative dispute resolution" (ADR), an approach that involves the use of mediation, arbitration, and other third-party dispute resolution techniques, rather than litigation, to resolve workplace disputes. …
The Pharmakon of Educational Technology
Is physical presence an essential aspect of a rich educational experience? Can forms of virtual encounter achieve engaged and sustained education? Technophiles and technophobes might agree that authentic personal engagement is educationally normative. They are more likely to disagree on how authentic engagement is best achieved. This article argues that educational thinking around digital pedagogy unhelpfully reinforces this polarising debate by …

David Lewin's Morgengruß
This title presents for the first time, an extended 1974 essay by David Lewin on 'Morgengruß', a 23 measure strophic song from Schubert's 'Die Schöne Müllerin'. The essay was central to Lewin's graduate teaching, and copies of it have circulated by hand through the music-scholarly community. Yet Lewin initially wrote it for an audience of non-specialists. In addition, the book presents a preface, introduction, and three critical essays that place…
Heidegger East and West
Resonances between Heidegger's philosophy and Eastern religious traditions have been widely discussed by scholars. The significance of Heidegger's thinking for education has also become increasingly clear over recent years. In this article I argue that an important aspect of Heidegger's work, the relevance of which to education is relatively undeveloped, relates to his desire to overcome Western metaphysics, a project that invites an exploration …
Jeffrey M. Shaw, Illusions of Freedom
The leap of learning
This article seeks to elaborate the step of epistemological affirmation that exists within every movement of learning. My epistemological method is rooted in philosophical hermeneutics in contrast to empirical or rationalist traditions. I argue that any movement of learning is based upon an entry into a hermeneutical circle: one is thrown into, or leaps into, an interpretation which in some sense has to be temporarily affirmed or adopted in order…
Behold
Educators continually ask about the best means to engage students and how best to capture attention. These concerns often make the problematic assumption that students can directly govern their own attention. In order to address the role and limits of attention in education, some theorists have sought to recover the significance of silence or mindfulness in schools, but I argue that these approaches are too simplistic. A more fundamental examinat…
The New Great Debate about Unionism and Collective Bargaining in U.S. State and Local Governments
Recently some state and local governments in the United States have sharply reduced or eliminated public employee unionism and bargaining rights in the belief that their fiscal adversity stems mainly from overcompensation of public employees caused by collective bargaining. The authors examine public-private sector pay and benefit relationships, the effects of unions on public employee pay, the effectiveness of employment dispute resolution proce…
Loyalty, Voice, and Intent to Exit a Union Firm
Drawing on economics and organizational behavior concepts, the authors develop a model of employee “voice” (defined in terms of the frequency of grievance filing) and employee intent to exit the firm. They test the model using data on a sample of nonmanagement employees of a large multinational telecommunications firm in 1991. Employees' loyalty to the firm and their perception of the grievance procedure's effectiveness are the main independent v…
Wage Determination in the Public Sector
This study provides evidence that wages in the public sector tend to be higher than in the private sector for most blue-collar jobs and lower level white-collar jobs, but salaries are generally lower in the public sector for managerial and professional occupations. The authors argue that these differentials, many of which are accentuated by differences in fringe benefits and job security, can be explained in large part by a combination of two fac…
Dispute Resolution in the Nonunion Firm
This article presents a multivariate analysis of the structure, uses, and consequences of nonunion employee appeal systems in three large U.S. companies over the 1980-83 period. Appeal system data drawn from company files are matched with personnel data to determine the effects of age, race, sex, education, occupation, and work experience on appeal system usage, types of appeal issues filed, and levels of appeal settlement. Analysis of appeal set…

The NLRA at Fifty
A survey of fifty years of research on the Wagner and Taft-Hartley Acts reveals that researchers' conclusions about the NLRA and its enforcement have generally depended upon their perceptions of the law's purpose; most researchers do not seem to consult relevant research outside their own disciplines; and some important aspects of the NLRA have received little attention. The authors recommend, among other things, that future studies focus on the …

Coalition Bargaining in Municipal Government
This paper analyzes the emergence and development of two-tier coalition bargaining in the municipal government of New York City from the late 1960s through the 1980 negotiations. The reduction of interunion rivalries, growth of pattern bargaining, and enactment of the city's Collective Bargaining Law in 1967 were important precedents to formal coalition bargaining, but it was the fiscal crisis of the mid 1970s that provided a major thrust to the …

Introduction: Love and Desire in Education
They Know not What They Do’
This article considers the spiritual trajectory of modern technology. The concern that technology brings about a profound disengagement with reality through an environment constituted by disburdening devices must be taken seriously. It would seem that the drive towards technological availability—increased utility or productivity—produces pathologies on the basis of the concealment of teleology. I argue that it is unclear whether that imperative t…
Some Impacts of Collective Bargaining On Local Government
The rapid growth of collective bargaining in the A merican public sector, especially local government, has sparked much concern with, but relatively little research of, union impacts on governmental management. Such impact analysis may most fruitfully be undertaken from a diversity perspective that envisions a multiplicity rather than a single pattern of bargaining outcomes. This diversity thesis is examined in relation to five dimensions of publ…

Aspects of Wage Determination in Local Government Employment
In recent years, state and local governments in the United States have experienced rapid growth of employment, substantial increases in the unionization of their work forces, and, concomitantly, expanded use of collective bargaining in the making of decisions concerning employment relationships. These developments, together with the worsening financial plight of many governments, have sparked renewed interest in public decisions and the processes…

Equal Pay in the Public Sector
Wages and Unionism in the Public Sector
ONE of the most important developments in government during the last two decades has been the growth of public employee unions. Because personnel expenditures comprise a substantial portion of the cost of providing public services, there has been considerable concern that unionization has severely exacerbated budgetary problems of governments, especially local governments. Consequently, a large literature on the wage effects of public employee un…
