Jacques Ranciere Education, Truth, Emancipation [Hardcover]

Winner - AERA 2011 Outstanding Book Award

Jacques Ranci?re: Education, Truth, Emancipation demonstrates the importance of Ranci?re's work for educational theory, and in turn, it shows just how central Ranci?re's educational thought is to his work in political theory and aesthetics. Charles Bingham and Gert Biesta illustrate brilliantly how philosophy can benefit from Ranci?re's particular way of thinking about education, and go on to offer their own provocative account of the relationship between education, truth, and emancipation. Including a new essay by Ranci?re himself, this book is a must-read for scholars of social theory and all who profess to educate.
