A Dilemmatic Approach to Education offers a unique approach to
educational theorizing that enriches the way we think about
education. Problematizing conventional education theory, it
presents an unorthodox thesis that education is defined by an
internal conflict between competing core values, which in turn
produce core dilemmas. The book locates the theoretical foundations
of a dilemmatic approach in the works of thinkers such as G. H.
Mead, Gert Biesta, Luca Tateo, and Etienne Wenger. It then relates
this dilemmatic approach to a general theory of education, partly
defined as the realization of the 'good', conceived in terms of
competing core values. The book uses Schwartz's theory of universal
values as a framework for disclosing the core values competing in
educational models. The dilemmatic nature of educational leadership
(including social justice leadership) is set within the context of
leading leadership theories and illustrated through exemplary
leadership dilemmas. Lastly, the book identifies ethical
self-understanding and communities-of-practice as practically
affecting a dilemmatic approach to education. Presenting an
innovative understanding of the nature and meaning of education,
this book will be of great interest to academics, researchers and
post-graduate students in the field of educational theory and
educational research, as well as those interested in a deep
engagement about the meaning of education.
