Unlearning and the Role of 'philosophy'-after the End of Philosophy; Postscript; References; Index. - One view of education (appealing to the Latin root "e;educare"e; - "e;to train or mold"e;) aims to fill students' heads with knowledge and turn them into disciplined, normalized and potentially productive members of the workforce.An alternative (appealing to the Latin root "e;educere"e; - "e;to lead out or draw out"e;) wants to produce well-trained minds and create individuals capable of questioning, critical thinking, imagination, and self-reflective deliberation as engaged citizens.This book commends a third way, inspired by the Greek notion of "e;paideia"e;, which sees education as 'the process of educating person into their true form, the real and genuine human nature'.This education is not about learning a trade. It is a dynamic living thing in which the ability to UNlearn is essential for developing a good and capable citizen, trained for freedom, autonomy, and virtue -- Omslaget
