Pełny opis: |
Our lecture-course on the hermeneutics of education and the experience of time thematizes the phenomenon of education in relation to the understanding of time as αἰὼν, χρόνος, and καιρός. Interpreting Heraclitus’s Fragment B 52, αἰὼν παῖς ἐστι παίζων, πεσσεύων· παιδὸς ἡ βασιληίη, we will explore childlike experiences of time. For Heraclitus, a child experiences time more as αἰὼν than χρόνος. The aionic notion of time influences our understanding of education as an internal process of formation in need of permanent development. A more holistic qualitative and non-quantifiable experience of time stimulates an approach to education as the sharing of the experience of being a human being in the world. The childlike experience of the world can inspire thinking in education and promote an understanding of education as the culture of questioning. |
