Beskrivning

What is education? Most of the time, we have little patience for this question because we take the answer to be obvious: we identify education with school learning. This book focuses on education outside of the school context as a basis for criticizing and improving school learning. Following the examples of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and John Dewey, Arcilla seeks to harmonize schooling with a more pervasive education we are all naturally undergoing. He develops a philosophical theory of education that stresses the experience of being led out—a theory latent in the Latin term, “educere”—by examining the road movies of Wim Wenders. This book contributes both to our understanding of another crucial kind of education our schooling could better serve, and to our appreciation of what unifies and distinguishes Wenders’s achievements in cinema.

Recensioner i media

[Wim Wenders's Road Movie Philosophy] is written in service of the resuscitation of our culture and the reclaiming the role of art. It reminds me why it is meaningful to watch films, especially those that are related to one's life as quest. This is undoubtedly a book that contributes to what Cavell calls philosophy as the education of grownups. It is an encouraging and inspiring call to teachers and students who are in search of the meaning of life.
