To this end, the book explores the full range of negative and positive …

What does it mean to unlearn? Once we have learned something, is it ever possible to unlearn that something? If something is said to have been unlearned, does that mean that it is simply forgotten or does some residual force of learning, some perverse force, also resonate in ways that might help us to rethink traditional approaches to teaching and learning? Might we say that education today is …

Maurice Merleau-Ponty : Between phenomenology and structuralism
This is a study of Maurice Merleau-Ponty's social thought, its often troubled relations with Edmund Husserl's phenomenological philo-sophy, and its equally ambivalent stance toward those approaches in the human sciences which take Ferdinand de Saussure's struc-tural linguistics as their point of departure. It seeks to do justice to one of the more complex and elusive figures in contemporary phi…
