In a world struggling with environmental and social problems
resistant to current solutions, education needs to explore ways to
‘enlarge the space of the possible’ rather than only
‘replicate the existing possible’. To respond to this
challenge, this book troubles dominant Western philosophical
conceptions which continue to have wide-ranging influence in
education worldwide and which limit more sustainable ways to be in
the world together. It argues for the importance of opening spaces
in and through which unique subjects can emerge, bringing potential
for new ways of being and as yet unimagined futures. The book makes
a valuable contribution to international growing interest in
Arendtian thinking, complexity and emergence, feminist thinking,
the emerging field of anticipation studies, the posthuman and
engagement with Indigenous scholarship and practices in ways which
attempt to be non-appropriating. Sustainability continues to be a
vital theme in education, and the book responds to a desire to
encourage education which invites more sustainable processes and
ways of being in addition to education which limits itself to
teaching about, or for, sustainability. Sustainable and Democratic
Education will be of great interest to academics and practitioners
working with sustainability, Indigenous scholarship, complexity
theory and the posthuman and what these ideas can mean in and for
education.
