Indigenous Education and the Metaphysics of Presence: A worlded
philosophy explores a notion of education called 'worldedness' that
sits at the core of indigenous philosophy. This is the idea that
any one thing is constituted by all others and is, therefore,
educational to the extent that it is formational. A suggested
opposite of this indigenous philosophy is the metaphysics of
presence, which describes the tendency in dominant Western
philosophy to privilege presence over absence. This book compares
these competing philosophies and argues that, even though the
metaphysics of presence and the formational notion of education are
at odds with each other, they also constitute each other from an
indigenous worlded philosophical viewpoint. Drawing on both Maori
and Western philosophies, this book demonstrates how the
metaphysics of presence is both related and opposed to the
indigenous notion of worldedness. Mika explains that presence seeks
to fragment things in the world, underpins how indigenous peoples
can represent things, and prevents indigenous students, critics,
and scholars from reflecting on philosophical colonisation.
However, the metaphysics of presence, from an indigenous
perspective, is constituted by all other things in the world, and
Mika argues that the indigenous student and critic can re-emphasise
worldedness and destabilise presence through creative responses,
humour, and speculative thinking. This book concludes by
positioning well-being within education, because education
comprises acts of worldedness and presence. This book will be of
key interest to indigenous as well as non-indigenous academics,
researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of philosophy
of education, indigenous and Western philosophy, political strategy
and post-colonial studies. It will also be relevant for those who
are interested in philosophies of language, ontology, metaphysics
and knowledge.
