Dr. Stephen Hicks, Professor of Philosophy at Rockford College and CEE's Executive Director, presents a series of lectures on YouTube about the philosophy of education, which were recorded during the 2009-2010 academic year. This introductory course presupposes no formal knowledge of philosophy or education.
Unfortunately, the naming convention of his YT playlists obscures the proper ordering of the course; therefore, I have listed with links the correct order below, so that I can consume the material more methodically.

Dr. Stephen Hicks is great. I've learned a lot from him about Nietzsche, Heidegger, and The New Left.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the engaging material, which I will benefit from greatly by reviewing.
Your post reminded me of something I wrote about earlier on my blog:
The Education of Future Slaves

A few important questions to consider:
ReplyDelete1. Is "education" a mutual endeavor among co-equals? Or is it a paternalistic or maternalistic activity for adults of nurturing younger minds?
2. Is the goal of education to impart knowledge or to teach one how to seek knowledge and apprehend it?
3. What does it mean to be critical? What role does developing rationality play in education?
4. Is there objective knowledge or is everything subjective? What are the consequences for education of adopting either position?
