  • Cheng (誠) as ecological self-understanding: Realistic or impossible?Bin Wu - 2019 - Educational Philosophy and Theory 51 (11):1152-1163.
    Recent studies have recognised the Confucian holistic perspective as transformative in addressing the ecological concerns. This article complements and complicates this line of argument. The aforementioned literature has seldom examined whether or not the Confucian ideal is attainable. Centring on cheng, a Confucian metaphysical concept, this article highlights the struggle between the ideal and the real. The discussion is based on the premise that essential to the current ecological crisis is a need to reconfigure the meaning and purpose of humanity (...)

  • Minimal utopianism in the classroom.Emile Bojesen & Judith Suissa - 2018 - Educational Philosophy and Theory 51 (3):286-297.
    In this paper, we build on recent work on the role of the ‘utopian pedagogue’ to explore how utopian thinking can be developed within contemporary higher education institutions. In defending a utopian orientation on the part of HE lecturers, we develop the notion of ‘minimal utopianism’; a notion which, we suggest, expresses the difficult position of critical educators concerned to offer their students the tools with which to imagine and explore alternatives to current social and political reality, while acknowledging the (...)

  • The responsibility for social hope.Marcus Morgan - 2016 - Thesis Eleven 136 (1):107-123.

In particular, it suggests that sociologists have an ongoing normative responsibility to draw out emergent strands of social hope from their empirical analyses. Through a comparison of Rorty, Levitas, and Unger’s different theorizations of social hope, the article argues for a pragmatic (...)

  • Dystopian Reality, Utopian Thought and Educational Practice.Marianna Papastephanou - 2008 - Studies in Philosophy and Education 27 (2):89-102.
    The significance of utopian thought for education can be made evident through reconceptualizing utopia and approaching it alongside the notion of dystopia. Awareness of dystopian elements of reality radicalizes the kind of critique that assists utopian thought and makes engagement with it more pressing. Awareness of the lurking danger of future dystopia goes hand in hand with a utopia that is cautious and vigilant of its own possible turn into catastrophe. If education is not just an institution of the unreflective (...)
