Isi artikel

Eros and education is an ancient theme in Western thought, and from the beginning it has been associated with moral development, creativity, and, above all, wisdom. The topic of Eros and education has disappeared from the contemporary educational conversation. It is a sign, perhaps, of the overly intellectualistic and hyperrationalized way we have of thinking about education. This article seeks to reconvene the ancient conversation as well as to restore some of the traditional connections between love, poetry, creativity, and wisdom. Eros will allow us to think about these topics in effective, even if largely forgotten, ways. Next, I will identify the theme of Eros and education in the work of John Dewey. This will be done by emphasizing his work on art and aesthetics where it becomes clear that science, logic, and the method of inquiry are themselves understood aesthetically and as subordinate to the acts of creation. I will make use of Thomas Alexander's idea of "the Human Eros." The article concludes with a discussion of prophecy and the educational tasks that lie beyond good and evil. It is suggested that critical pedagogues must appear to their students as prophets in the Deweyan sense.
