This book, bringing together contributions by forty-five authors
from fourteen countries, represents mostly new material from both
emerging and seasoned scholars in the field of philosophy of
education. Topics range widely both within and across the four
parts of the book: Wittgenstein's biography and style as an
educator and philosopher, illustrating the pedagogical dimensions
of his early and late philosophy; Wittgenstein's thought and
methods in relation to other philosophers such as Cavell, Dewey,
Foucault, Hegel and the Buddha; contrasting investigations of
training in relation to initiation into forms of life, emotions,
mathematics and the arts (dance, poetry, film, and drama),
including questions from theory of mind (nativism vs. initiation
into social practices), neuroscience, primate studies,
constructivism and relativity; and the role of Wittgenstein's
philosophy in religious studies and moral philosophy, as well as
their profound impact on his own life. This collection explores
Wittgenstein not so much as a philosopher who provides a method for
teaching or analyzing educational concepts but rather as one who
approaches philosophical questions from a pedagogical point of
view. Wittgenstein's philosophy is essentially pedagogical: he
provides pictures, drawings, analogies, similes, jokes, equations,
dialogues with himself, questions and wrong answers, experiments
and so on, as a means of shifting our thinking, or of helping us
escape the pictures that hold us captive.
