This volume of essays brings a phenomenological focus to bear on
the subject of education in order to provide a fruitful stimulus
for educational philosophy. It is for philosophers, psychologists,
sociologists and indeed anyone who seeks to understand the
perennially interesting questions about the nature of
self-consciousness and how our view of it might affect our thinking
about education. Originally published in 1978, the essays explore
some of the main phenomenological and existentialist themes in
relation to the development of consciousness. Two deal with
Kierkegaard's concern for our need to know the world that is true
for ourselves, and with the part that imagination plays here. There
are two on the development of thinking based round Piaget's work on
the child's concept of causality and an alternative view proposed
by Merleau-Ponty. The role of memory in education is considered and
a distinction drawn between mere memorizing and that process of
remembering which enables an individual to develop his self-image.
Other essays discuss some of the child's problems in establishing
himself in the adult world, and explore the contact between child
and teacher. The effects of bringing up a child in isolation from
other children is considered with reference to Jean-Paul Sartre's
account of his childhood.
