This book focuses on the work of Dutch educational philosopher Gert Biesta. It offers a comprehensive exploration of his revolutionary ideas, guiding readers through his critique of contemporary educational thought and his alternative vision for education. By engaging with Biesta's work, we are invited to grapple with fundamental questions about the nature and purpose of education in the twenty-first century. What does it mean to be educated? What is the role of the teacher? How can education contribute to a more democratic society?The book illuminates a different approach to the key question underpinning all of Biesta’s work: what is the purpose of education? It pays particular attention to unpicking the more abstruse areas of his work, in order to make it more accessible to practitioners who are attracted to the general tenor of Biesta’s work but find some of the philosophical discussions hard to digest.This book will be beneficial to researchers, educators, policymakers, or readers interested in the future of education. At the end of it, readers will have been introduced to the key ideas of one of the most original and challenging voices in contemporary educational philosophy, as well as being able to identify exactly what it is that bothers them about modern schools and universities, and how those issues might be addressed.

The reading, study and criticism of books has always been popular and never more so than now, with events such as the BBC's Big Read and the glamour and controversy attached to awards such as the Booker Prize giving literature a high profile. This book covers the leading works and authors in the traditional canon of literature in English and in doing so gives the reader an engaging and knowledgeable insight into the books, their writers and the connections between them. From Austen to Shakespeare and covering classic favourites such as David Copperfield, Jane Eyre and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Essentials of Classic Literature in English is a delightful introduction to the classic works written in English before the First World War. Entries give a plot summary, an analysis of the major themes, a look at the literary techniques employed by the author and quotes from the original text, as well as a guide to further resources. A glossary of literary terms is also included and is fully cross-referenced to the alphabetically ordered collection of entries on key authors, novels, plays and poems.

Slavoj Zizek is no ordinary philosopher. Approaching critical theory and psychoanalysis in a recklessly entertaining fashion, Zizek's critical eye alights upon a bewildering and exhilarating range of subjects, from the political apathy of contemporary life, to a joke about the man who thinks he's a chicken, from the ethicial heroism of Keanu Reeves in Speed, to what toilet designs reveal about the national psyche. Tony Myers provides a clear and engaging guide to Zizek's key ideas, explaining the main influences on Zizek's thought (most crucially his engagement with Lacanian psychoanalysis) using examples drawn from popular culture and everyday life. Myers outlines the key issues that Zizek's work has tackled, including:What is a Subject and why is it so important?The Imaginary, the Symbolic and the RealWhat is so terrible about Postmodernity?How can we distinguish reality from ideology?What is the relationship between men and women?Why is Racism always a fantasy?Slavoj Zizek is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand the thought of the critic whom Terry Eagleton has described as "the most formidably brilliant exponent of psychoanalysis, indeed of cultural theory in general, to have emerged in Europe for some decades.
