Rediscovering Teaching
Paolo Landri and Francesco Cappa edited the volume published by Raffaello Cortina Editore and authored by Gert J.J. Biesta.
Rediscovering Teaching:
“With this book, written in direct and engaging language, Biesta leads the reader to recognize the centrality of teaching and the role of the teacher, understood not only as a figure associated with the school system, but as a strategically important profession at the social and political level, capable of promoting emancipation and conscious development in the subjects of today’s and tomorrow’s society. Through continuous questions and issues that illuminate the practical consequences of his reasoning, the author, in dialogue with Emmanuel Lévinas, Paulo Freire, Jacques Rancière and other thinkers, asks not only what it means to be a teacher, but also what it means today to exist and act as a teacher. Aimed at researchers and students working in the field of philosophy of education and theories of teaching, the text emphasizes the fundamental role of teachers for education understood as emancipation.”
