The Pedagogics of Unlearning
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…

History as a Science and the System of the Sciences: Phenomenological Investi…
This volume goes beyond presently available phenomenological analyses based on the structures and constitution of the lifeworld. It shows how the science of history is the mediator between the human and the natural sciences. It demonstrates that the distinction between interpretation and explanation does not imply a strict separation of the natural and the human sciences. Finally, it shows that…

Aesthetics and the Embodied Mind: Beyond Art Theory and the Cartesian Mind-Bo…
The project of naturalizing human consciousness/experience has made great technical strides (e.g., in mapping areas of brain activity), but has been hampered in many cases by its uncritical reliance on a dualistic “Cartesian” paradigm (though as some of the authors in the collection point out, assumptions drawn from Plato and from Kant also play a role). The present volume proposes a versio…
