On Big Think, Zizek argues for philosophy’s relevance today for and against Science, defends Hegel (over and above his beloved Marx), and contextualizes his more popular work next to his principal desire: to orchestrate a return to philosophy, with new, updated results. His remarks align in some ways with two recent essays I wrote: After Science? and Does Education Need Science? Read more

I do think I have an ability to record sensual and emotional facts and factoids, to construct a convincing surface of what life feels like, both physical life and emotional life. But I also wanted to do something that I call understanding what life feels like, and I don’t believe I did. I also don’t know what it would be to do that, but if I read Virginia Woolf or George Eliot describing emotional facts of people, it seems there’s... Read more

Dear Dean Sidorkin, Sign me up for the revolution

Alexander Sidorkin is a decorated philosopher of education — and Dean of the Feinstein School of Education, Rhode Island College — who, like me, takes an ontological approach to his work. He is also a fantastic and serious doodler. His new, open access journal — Syllabi — publishes peer-reviewed syllabi. (The Chronicle of Higher Education has also published a story about it.) In the first issue, his editorial introduction offers a sensible rationale and impassioned call to a pedagogical revolution... Read more

Here’s a just-over-nine-minute rendition of Bill Withers’ classic “Ain’t No Sunshine” that my brother in law, Shawn Kolles, and I recorded at last night’s rehearsal for this upcoming Sunday’s performance at Gather4Good, sponsored by Catholic United Financial, at Cedar Lake Farm, in New Prague, MN.

Homeschooling is usually associated with school-choice and privatization that come from the Right. Sadly, this is a caricature. Unschooling and deschooling are related to homeschooling in many ways, but, unlike homeschooling, they have more obvious history and bandwidth than the narrow Right. Here is an interesting, introductory lecture by Astra Taylor — a through and through Leftist — on her experience being unschooled. The conversation that follows the lectures is also very interesting. The usual qualification applies: this is not... Read more
