Opis

Drawing upon both Western and indigenous philosophies, this book engages with the indigenous self’s relationship with objects around them, and how this has changed due to colonisation through a metaphysics of presence. Chapters explore the portrayal of the self in the West, examining key philosophers from Heraclitus to Heidegger and combining important theoretical ideas alongside key events which produced a greater reliance on visibility and appearance in the classroom, and in the language of education.
