Wonder: What can we learn from it?

Maria will draw a distinction between two forms of wonder, the wonder that takes as an object some unusual entity, and “objectless wonder”, wonder that is directed to everything and nothing in particular.

She will discuss in relation themes from Plato, Heidegger, and Wittgenstein.

This in-person event will be particularly useful for teachers, researchers and philosophers of education
