Philosophy of Education (Sec. A)

This course will introduce participants to the foundational concepts of a Neohumanist philosophy of education in the context of an overview of major Western philosophical traditions of the 20th and 21st centuries. A Neohumanist philosophy of education offers new understandings of the concept of the human, what it means to “know” and how knowing happens, an expanded perspective on ethics and their importance in education, and a new understanding of the role of aesthetics in human experience and what the arts contribute to a Neohumanist education.
