Professorship for Art education as Critical Tactics

In this theory based project we aim to get more knowledge about the philosophy and history of pedagogy for the future. The point of departure is the contemporary situation of education, that is constructed by a highly positivist perspective on education. This concept of education comes now to an end, not anymore functional as a method for solving the question in a post anthropocentric society.

In a surge for inspiration we are going back to the 17th century where the early modern creative forms of thinking were lost. With the Renaissance thinker Montaigne as inspiration, we try to build a future form of education. This project is the second in a series that started with: De scheppende rede. Introductie tot het werk van Ralph Waldo Emerson (2020).
