Beschreibung
This book confronts the challenges hermeneutics brings to
ethics and education by thematizing the critical influence
which ethics and contemporary educational theory and
practice have on the self-understanding of philosophical
hermeneutics. In the hermeneutic spirit of commitment to
cultivating lifelong habits of critical thinking, moral
reflection, and articulate expression, this volume offer
voices that illuminate rich cultural diversity with the
profound hope of nurturing the full-flourishing of human
beings. The hermeneutics of education calls for diverse ways
of thinking about education, which deeply cares for the
common good of individuals, communities, and nations. This
diversity promotes a genuine interest in different
approaches to the event ( Ereignis) of education.
