How does ethics influence the myriad ways we engage difference
within educational settings? Learning from the Other presents a
philosophical investigation into the ethical possibilities of
education, especially social justice education. In this original
treatment, Sharon Todd rethinks the ethical basis of responsibility
as emerging out of the everyday and complex ways we engage
difference within educational settings. She works through the
implications of the productive tension between the thought of
Emmanuel Levinas and that of Sigmund Freud, Melanie Klein, Judith
Butler, Cornelius Castoriadis, and others. Challenging the idea
that knowledge about the other is the answer to questions of
responsibility, she proposes that responsibility is rooted instead
in a learning from the other. The author focuses on empathy, love,
guilt, and listening to highlight the complex nature of learning
from difference and to probe where the conditions for ethical
possibility might lie.
