Levinas and the Philosophy of Education

Written by a group of leading, internationally respected scholars in philosophy of education, this book explores the relevance and possibilities of Levinas’ philosophy to educational theory and practice. This book was originally published as a special issue of Educational Philosophy and Theory.

Delving into Levinas’s ideas in nuanced and sophisticated ways, this book innovatively blends and juxtaposes Levinas with other thinkers, perspectives, and fields of thinking. Some contributions are traditional, but superbly analyzed and argued renderings of his thought, and they contrast with more creative readings of Levinas through lenses such as Durkheim, Habermas, feminism and indigenous, new materialism.

This collection will serve to reinvigorate Levinas and the importance of the many facets of his thinking that link to the ethical and lived dimensions to our educational worlds. Readers will find this to be a very interesting, engrossing, and well thought out book that forms a vibrant and exciting intervention into the philosophy of education and Levinas studies in general. This book was originally published as a special issue of Educational Philosophy and Theory.
