'Education' as a word: Philosophical approaches
21 Jun 2023, 17:30 – 19:00
'Education' is a word, and like all words, it implies a relationship with objects, ideas, etc. This seminar considers Émile Benveniste and his discussion with Jacques Derrida to understand the philosophical implications of words and their naming of reality.
Beyond 'education', are there other words that we can translate as education? Examples from different philosophical traditions and languages will be provided.
This online event will be particularly useful for those interested in the philosophy of education and language.
