Joff P.N. Bradley (EDT), David Kennedy (EDT) Bernard Stiegler and the Philosophy of Education

Annotation

This book is the first of its kind to critically examine the philosophy of Bernard Stiegler from the perspective of the philosophy of education.The editors of this book firmly believe that in the coming years Stiegler's philosophy will assume increasing importance and influence in both digital studies and the philosophy of education as his thought is a prism through which to understand how we live and work, and a means to anticipate what the future may hold for us all in the time of the Anthropocene. They are of the view that Stiegler's work will have a permanent impact on the intellectual terrain of the twenty-first century as his majestic conceptual architectonic will shape political, social and pedagogical debates in the coming decades. With this in mind, the contributors of this book take up his gauntlet to understand the risks and opportunities of the digital pharmakon and its impact on the educational milieu.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Educational Philosophy and Theory.
