As a bold provocation to reimagine what the philosophy of education
might mean in the 21st century, this book responds to the
exhaustion of present theoretical models and indeed the degradation
of fabulative thought in its current prospectus. The contributors,
from Asia, the Americas, and Europe, proffer a frank response to
the everyday reality of the classroom where teachers compete with
electronic devices for the attention of students whose minds are
literally elsewhere, cocooned in the noospheric ether. Outside of
lecture halls the world is suffering the rise of fascism, panic,
and anger driven by precarious employment, and a looming fatalism
and resignation in the face of ecological calamity. These
developments have led to an avalanche of psychical woes afflicting
young people ranging from trauma, the loss of hope and, in
extremis, violence and suicide. The concerned and committed writers
of this volume therefore raise the timely question of the return of
utopia as a fitting, desperate, and indeed necessary response to
the ecological, existential, and pedagogical crises spreading
across the planet. At this most crucial juncture in human history,
the excellent contributions to this book offer singularly unique
perspectives regarding the possibility/impossibility of utopia.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the
journal, Educational Philosophy and Theory.
