Opis

Bringing together the work of international experts in the field and two interviews with Derrida himself, this book provides a key to the major contemporary reflections Derrida's work has prompted on educational issues. At the same time the book gives a systematic introduction to the central ideas of deconstruction, and explores their relevance to educational theory and practice. Fundamental educational issues addressed include: the tension between sameness and otherness; inclusion and exclusion; questions about control and freedom; educational rights and responsibilities; conceptions of humanity and their meaning and for education; and questions of education and justice. The contributors to this work demonstrate how Derrida's work provides a relevant perspective on the aims, content and nature of education in contemporary, multicultural societies.
