In the light of the structural dangers of revolutionary change
highlighted in the political theory of Giorgio Agamben, this book
joins a lively debate in philosophy of education on weak utopianism as
an approach that foregrounds and respects the educational potentiality
of teachers and students. Utopian moves in education call for
revolutionary changes in pedagogical practice in pursuit of a
particular vision of the good. Whether grounded in emancipatory
politics, technological enthusiasm, or another social movement,
utopian moves are seductive in their promise of a better alternative.
Weak Utopianism in Education draws together philosophy of education,
political theory, scholarship of teaching and learning research, and
utopian thought to advocate for a modest and humble approach to
change. The theoretical foundation of weak utopianism opens space for
educator’s personal convictions and teaching philosophies to tinker
with their own pedagogical practices. The book creates a common
conceptual meeting ground for philosophers and practitioners in
education.
