Opis

Inoperative Learning draws upon the movement towards a weak philosophy that is currently gaining ground in educational philosophy:

Recenzje

Tyson E. Lewis dissolves the means-ends logic in the hierarchy "philosopher–teacher–student" that has held us captive since Plato. With constant reference to Italian critic Giorgio Agamben, Lewis plots ways of not-getting-educated—friends studying alongside one another, a student scattered in distraction, a teacher miming virtuous actions as if to say, "anybody can play at this." More than a philosophical critique of educational theory: this book also tells how to live joyfully within a finite frame. When there is no final, total "in-order-to," we receive the "gift of inoperativity." - Paul North, Professor Germanic Languages, Yale University, USA
