Title
Education for Selftransformation: Essay Form as an Educational Practice (Contemporary Philosophies and Theories in Education, V,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Exemplifying what it advocates, this book is an innovative attempt to retrieve the essay form from its degenerate condition in academic writing. Its purpose is to create pedagogical space in which the inner struggle of lived experience can articulate itself in the first person. Working through essays, the modern, postsecular self can guide, understand, and express its own transformation. This is not merely a book about writing methods: it has a sharp existential edge.Beginning by defining key terms such as selftransformation, Kwak sketches the contemporary debates between Jrgen Habermas and Charles Taylor on the status of religious language in the public domain, and its relationship to secular language. This allows her to contextualize her books central questions: how can philosophical practice reduce the experiential rift between knowledge and wisdom? How can the essay form be developed so that it facilitates, as praxis, pedagogical selftransformation? Kwak develops her answers by working through ideas of George Lukcs and Stanley Cavell, of Hans Blumenberg and Sren Kierkegaard, whose work is much less familiar in this context than it deserves to be.Kwaks work provides templates for new forms of educational writing, new approaches to teaching educators, and new ways of writing methodology for educational researchers. Yet the importance of her ideas extends far beyond teaching academies to classroom teachers, curriculum developers and to anyone engaged in the quest to lead a reflective life of ones own.
