Adrian Skilbeck is Senior Lecturer in Education Studies at the University of Winchester, UK.

What is taking yourself seriously? And why should you? In Stanley Cavell and Education, Adrian Skilbeck boldly poses this question through the concept of education. It is well known that throughout his work Cavell defined philosophy as education. This exciting book illuminates and develops this claim, offering a new view of the mutuality of seriousness and subjectivity, and ultimately finding an unknown intimacy between philosophy and education through the study of voice, expression, and drama.
