Skrócony opis:

In the hermeneutic spirit of commitment to cultivating lifelong habits of critical thinking, we will focus on understanding of education as a commitment to thinking. A close reading of Martin Heidegger’s Discourse on Thinking should help us to understand the vocation of human being as the call to “piety of thinking” (Frömmigkeit des Denkens).

Pełny opis:

We will offer careful reading of voices that illuminate rich cultural diversity with the profound hope of nurturing the full flourishing of human beings. As dynamic participants in our education, we are the primary subjects and the integral part of the learning process. Through the long history of dealing with questions of ultimate meaning, we arrive with an unforced certitude at the conclusion that we desperately need a corrective for a system of education which has become fragmented and overly specialized. As educators, we have a mission to serve human beings.

We discover that being a human being, we ask questions. Questioning is the art of mastering (and not domesticating) idiosyncrasies of description and the interpretation of life. The more analytic steps we undertake and the more possibilities of understanding we entertain, the more adequately we address what we see on our horizon. What we discover might be fascinating, rambling, and gripping, but also disturbing and discouraging. It can disclose an insight into a world, which we might never like to see. To understand a human being means to understand the idiosyncratic meanings, and the specific contexts of one’s lives, while taking into consideration one’s interrelatedness, solidarity, and commitment. Our undertaking is to discover the meaning of everything, especially when this meaning is hidden beyond an apparent lack of sense, intelligibility, and faith in life and in one’s active powers.
