Op
15-09-2016 had ik het blog: Johan Dahlbeck's Spinoza and
Education verschijnt eind van het jaar" [over Johan Dahlbeck’s, Spinoza and Education. Freedom,
understanding and empowerment. Routledge, 2017]
Inmiddels
staat er bij Routledge een volgend boek van hem aangekondigd:
Johan
Dahlbeck, Education and Free Will.
Spinoza, Causal Determinism and Moral Formation. Routledge, 2019
Description:
Education and Free Will critically assesses and makes use of Spinoza’s insights on human freedom
to construe an account of education that is compatible with causal determinism
without sacrificing the educational goal of increasing students’ autonomy and
self-determination. Offering a thorough investigation into the philosophical
position of causal determinism, Dahlbeck discusses Spinoza’s view of
self-determination and presents his own suggestions for an education for
autonomy from a causal determinist point of view.
The book begins by outlining the free will problem in
education, before expanding on a philosophical understanding of autonomy and
how it is seen as an educational ideal. It considers Spinoza’s determinism and
discusses his denial of moral responsibility. Later chapters consider the
relationship between causal determinism and autonomy, the educational
implications of understanding free will and how free will can be utilised as a
valuable fiction in education.
This book will be of great interest to academics and postgraduate students
in the field of education, especially those with an interest in moral education
and philosophy of education. It will also be of interest to those in the fields
of philosophy and psychology and specifically those focusing on the free will problem,
on Spinoza studies, and on the relation between moral psychology and external
influence.
Zoals uit eerdere
blogs moge blijken, trekken mijn tenen enigszins krom bij het gebruik van de
term ‘autonomie’ i.v.m. Spinoza. Zou Dahlbeck zich iets aantrekken van de uitvoerige
beschouwen over de samenhang tussen “educatie en vrije wil” van Heidi M.
Ravven, The Self Beyond Itself [cf. blog]?
