Distinct among contemporary philosophical studies focused on
education, this book engages the history of phenomenological
thought as it moves from philosophy proper (the European
phenomenological-hermeneutic tradition) through curriculum studies.
It thus presents the "best of both worlds" for the reader; there is
a "play" or movement from philosophy proper to educational
philosophy and then back again in order to locate and explicate
what is intimated, suggested, and in some cases, left "unsaid" by
educational philosophers. This amounts to a work on
education-philosophy that elucidates, through various permutations
within the unique foci of each essay, the general phenomenological
theme of the fundamental ontology of the human being as primordial
learner. Reflecting his experience as scholar, teacher, and
perennial learner, the author suggests how research in
phenomenology might prove beneficial to the enhancement of both the
theoretical and practical aspects of education; readers are invited
to envision education as far more than merely a means by which to
organize an effective learning experience in which knowledge is
assimilated and skill sets are efficiently imparted, but rather as
a holistic and integrated process in which knowing, acting, and
valuing are original ways of Being-in-the-world.
