Education, Experience and Existence proposes a new way of
understanding education that delves beneath the conflict, confusion
and compromise that characterize its long history. At the heart of
this new understanding is what John Dewey strove to expound: a
coherent theory of experience. Dewey's reputation as a pragmatist
is well known, but where experience is concerned pragmatism is only
half the story. The other half is phenomenological, as crafted by
Martin Heidegger. Encompassing both is Charles Sanders Peirce,
whose philosophy draws pragmatism and phenomenology together in an
embrace which enables a truly experiential philosophy to emerge.
The book approaches the problem of confusion in education and
philosophy by beginning with our most basic understandings of
existence. Existence as an interaction is the starting point of
modern science, and existence as individuality offers an aesthetic
origin, attending to existence as a simple unity. In our
contemporary world where scientific ways of thinking are
privileged, the aesthetic whole is often overlooked, especially in
education. Yet both are connected. A coherent theory of experience
is therefore a marriage between phenomenology and pragmatism,
enabling each to maintain its position by acknowledging how both
are required. The book is divided into three main parts: -
confusion in philosophy and education - a coherent theory of
experience - a coherent theory of education. Quay suggests that
education benefits from such a coherent theory of experience by
better comprehending its connection to life. More than just
knowing, more than just doing, education is about being. This book
will be of interest to philosophers, educators and educational
philosophers.
