Filosofia da educação como práxis humana
A melhor maneira de homenagear um pensador é discutir sua obra. O leitor encontrará neste livro um diálogo com o pensamento e o trabalho de Antônio Joaquim Severino, uma referência quando se fala em Filosofia da Educação no Brasil e na comunidade de língua portuguesa. Ao acompanhar a trajetória do pensamento crítico, inquieto e inconformado deste lutador pela Filosofia, percorrerá em paralelo parte significativa da história política e universitária do país, da década de 1960 até nossos dias. Este livro é essencial para todos aqueles que se dedicam ao campo da Filosofia da Educação, como pesquisadores, professores, estudantes de graduação e de pós-graduação. Mas interessa também a todos aqueles que se preocupam com a Educação no Brasil e veem na Filosofia uma forma de abordar os problemas que se descortinam nesse campo.
Philosophy Goes To School
Ten years ago Philosophy in the Classroom, by Lipman, Sharp, and Oscanyan, hailed the emergence of philosophy as a novel, although in some ways highly traditional, elementary school discipline. In this sequel, Matthew Lipman examines the impact that elementary school philosophy has had, and may yet have, upon the process of education. Going beyond his earlier work to describe the contribution that training in philosophy can make in the teaching of values, he shows the applications of ethics in civics education and the ways in which aesthetics can be incorporated into areas of the curriculum related to the development of creativity. Making reference to the contemporary educational scene, Lipman compares the K-12 Philosophy for Children curriculum to the many unsatisfactory solutions being offered in our current drive for educational excellence. He addresses the relationship of elementary school philosophy to educational reform in the areas of science, language, social studies, and writing. And he shows how philosophy can be instrumental in the difficult task of teaching values to children while avoiding both ideological indoctrination and mindless relativism.
Frail Happiness
&"We are all confronted, at one time or another, with choices as to what sort of life we will lead.&" So Tzvetan Todorov begins Frail Happiness, an important interpretation of Rousseau, one suffused with Todorov&’s own moral seriousness and intellectual depth. While ranging widely through Rousseau&’s corpus with skill and scholarly authority Todorov returns, again and again, to the fragile yet persistent hope for human happiness.
Philosophy of Education
This volume provides an introduction to the philosophy of education, which will enable students meeting the subject for the first time to find their way among the many specialized volumes. It deals in a non-technical way with the more important issues raised in a philosophical approach to education, and gives a clear idea of the scope of the subject. After discussing different theories of the aims of education, whether mechanistic or organic, the author addresses practical issues - for example, about the curriculum, the distinction between education and indoctrination, the role of authority and discipline, and the place of religious and moral teaching. Finally he deals with some important aspects of education and the influence of different political structures on the philosophy of education.
Silicon Literacies
Electronic communication is radically altering literacy practices. Silicon Literacies unravels the key features of the new communication order to explore the social, cultural and educational impact of silicon literacy practices. Written by leading international scholars from a range of disciplines, the essays in this collection examine the implications of text produced on a keyboard, visible on a screen and transmitted through a global network of computers. The book covers topics as diverse as role-playing in computer games, the use of graphic symbols in on-screen texts and Internet degree programmes to reveal that being literate is to do with understanding how different modalities combine to create meaning. Recognizing that reading and writing are only part of what people have to learn to be literate, the contributors enhance our understanding of the ways in which the use of new technologies influence, shape and sometimes transform literacy practices.
Italy Revisited
Drawing out her mother's childhood memories of life in southern Italy at the dawn of the twentieth century, Mary Melfi takes an unconventional approach to autobiographical writing. Italy Revisited serves as a double memoir, told in dialogue between a mother and a daughter. The conversation takes the reader to a medieval town high up in the mountains where time is told by the shadow the sun casts, where wheat and olive oil are the currency of choice (barter is in use), and where marriage is as much about property as it is about love. As they re-create that vanished world, the pair finds greater understanding of the tumultuous relationships that sometimes exist between immigrant mothers and their children.
