  1. Ironic Practices as Pedagogical Tools for Accomplishing Italo Calvino’s Lightness.Bianca Thoilliez - 2024 - Studies in Philosophy and Education 43 (4):343-360.
    This essay begins with the premise that Italo Calvino’s Memos serve as a fundamentally educational proposition. Each of his lectures can be regarded as a substantive proposal, encouraging a revaluation of our contemporary world through unconventional forms of knowledge, especially considering the challenges posed by the new millennium. The essay’s central objective is to further the intellectual movement initiated by Calvino, but with a specific focus on theorizing education. It aims not to simply apply Calvino’s principles and insights to education (...)

  • Redeeming education after progress: composing variations as a way out of innovation tyrannies.Bianca Thoilliez - 2024 - Journal of Philosophy of Education 57 (6):1087-1102.
    At a time of pedagogical exhaustion, this article wants to imagine ways to redeem education, to spare education from its unaccomplished promises, reinvent and renew its vows, and make it somehow work towards possible futures. But how can this be done when there is no longer the old inherited faith in a direction of history with an end, no ‘telos’ nor faith that educational institutions will inevitably move societies forwards?

  • Civic education through artifacts: memorials, museums, and libraries.Bianca Thoilliez, Francisco Esteban & David Reyero - 2023 - Ethics and Education 18 (3-4):387-404.
    While civic education may not always be explicitly included in school curriculums, it can still be imparted through various non-teaching practices and in different places. In this article, we will delve into three potential educational spaces -memorials, museums, and libraries- that are commonly found in Western democracies. We will explore the significance and scope of each of these spaces and discuss their respective ethical, political, and aesthetic responsibilities. Additionally, we will examine how they possess agency and can influence the educational (...)

  • Critical Thinking as an Integrative Process: Debating Wolves in Yellowstone.Lynn Sargent De Jonghe - 2024 - Human Affairs 34 (3):374-392.
    The topic of critical thinking has engaged philosophers, psychologists and educators for well over one hundred years. Amid polarized political attacks on the teaching of controversial issues, however, education in critical thinking appears to be nearing a new low, not only in the United States, but also in other countries being torn by partisan politics. This article reviews the ebb and flow of critical thinking efforts, suggests explanations for their discouraging results, and proposes a way forward that treats critical thinking (...)
