Von der hinteren Coverseite

Derrida has not received the attention he deserves in the field of education, yet his critique of Western metaphysics indicates that deconstruction is nothing other than a new pedagogy of the text. This book takes as a premise that Derrida is a profound educational thinker, who from the very beginning concerned himself with questions of pedagogy. Written by a team of international scholars, it comprises a series of original essays, exploring the significance of Derrida’s thought for education, pedagogy, and the ethics of teaching and research. Each scholar addresses in a provocative and inventive way, the unconventional readings that deconstruction engenders regarding some of the most basic philosophical questions of teaching and of learning.
