Human Relations: The Cornerstone of a Roeper Education

This article traces the evolution of a moral philosophy curriculum originally taught by George A. Roeper in the earliest years of The Roeper School. The first author, a student at The Roeper School in the 1960s and 1970s, describes the impact of the class George Roeper called “Human Relations” on her life. Returning to the School as a parent and trustee, she had the opportunity to re-create for current students the experience of the Human Relations class in a workshop, liberally borrowing material from a philosophy class taught by Harvard political philosopher Michael Sandel. In the second part of the article, a current English teacher at The Roeper School and attendee at that workshop discusses how she was inspired to revise her literature courses to incorporate the moral philosophy approach of George Roeper and Michael Sandel.

Michael Novak’s alternate route: political realism in The Joy of Sports

This work seeks to honor Michael Novak’s contribution to sport ethics by returning to his seminal work, The Joy of Sports. Novak runs an alternate route in developing his ethic, drawing largely on the school of political realism, particularly the work of Reinhold Niebuhr. In so doing, he offers a distinctive lens through which to approach to the myriad ethical issues in sport, including those related to competition, violence, and engagement in foul play. The essay outlines four core dimensions of realism within Novak’s larger corpus in order to elucidate their unfolding within The Joy of Sports. It also contributes to an understanding of how political realism might be appropriated for sport ethics.     

阿普尔批判教育研究的批判逻辑

作为美国新马克思主义教育哲学的创立者和最早在北美倡导批判教育运动的领军人物之一,阿普尔对由右翼保守势力主导的市场化和私有化的教育改革已经进行了长达四十多年的批判研究。在批判立场上,阿普尔表现出对社会草根群体的现实关怀;在批判方法上,阿普尔采取了情境化的关系分析进路;在批判旨趣上,阿普尔致力于民主社会的教育重建,其实践策略包括将批判性反思、学校变革、民主实践的捍卫与对教育改革中赤裸裸的经济逻辑的抵制相结合的"非改革主义的改革",将教师、社区和社会活动家等众多教育利益相关者动员起来积极参与学校教育变革的"厚民主"的教育,以及旨在实现教育领域的知识分子从单纯以知识生产为目的的"学者"转变为能够基于自己所发现的知识在政治和教育层面上为追求经济、社会和教育的平等与民主开展行动的"活动家"的身份重塑。     

Pensamiento e ideas fuerza de la educación en derechos humanos en Iberoamérica [Core ideas and thinking about human rights education in Iberoamerica]

ABSTRACT

In A Theory of Moral Education, Michael Hand defends the importance of teaching children moral standards, even while taking seriously the fact that reasonable people disagree about morality. While I agree there are universal moral values based on the kind of beings humans are, I raise two issues with Hand’s account. The first is an omission that may be compatible with Hand’s theory; the role of virtues. A role for the cultivation of virtues and rational emotions such as compassion is vital in accounting for the emotional aspect of morality. The second issue pertains to Hand’s foundational premise of human beings’ rough equality. Following Martha Nussbaum, I argue that contractarian approaches must be critically evaluated to ensure the social contract properly includes and accounts for the human dignity of those who are typically excluded from the benefits of society. Hand’s justificatory arguments rely upon a contractarian premise, and the contract itself needs scrutiny and adjustment if it is to support a viable theory of moral education.     

库切《生活和时代》的后殖民生态书写

库切的生态书写氤氲于其后殖民创作之中,生态主题与后殖民主题在其作品中相互交融,具有典型的后殖民生态书写特色。以往的评论主要从后殖民理论视阈来分析库切的文学创作,而对其作品中丰富的后殖民生态书写没有引起足够重视。《迈克尔·K的生活和时代》是展示库切后殖民生态关注的重要作品之一。在这部作品中,库切的后殖民生态书写绝非空洞地赞美大自然或将其浪漫化,而是与残酷的种族殖民战争及种族殖民统治相关联,具有明显的伦理政治倾向。通过探究《迈克尔·K的生活和时代》所蕴含的后殖民生态关注,我们能够窥见库切尊重一切生命、保护生态环境、促进人与自然和谐相容及反对一切霸权的后殖民生态伦理观。     

Historical Resources of the Orthodox Church in America

SUMMARY

Orthodox Christianity has been present in America since the eighteenth century. Starting in Alaska with Russian missionaries, it has now spread to all fifty states.

“'Are we going to now govern by anecdote?’: Rhetorical constructions of welfare recipients in congressional hearings,debates, and legislation, 1992–1996”

Through a rhetorical analysis of the welfare reform hearings and debates from the 102nd, 103rd, and 104th Congresses, all of which led to President Clinton's historical August 22, 1996 signing of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, P.L. 104–193, this essay contributes to our developing knowledge of deliberative hearings and debates as precursors to legislation. Relying on a narrative approach, this study challenges the liberatory and participatory functions of the narrative paradigm as conceived by Walter Fisher. The central argument developed in this essay is that some narrative forms facilitate elite discourse, discourage the inclusion of alternative public views, and delegitimize particular public voices.     

Exopedagogy: On pirates,shorelines, and the educational commonwealth

In this paper, Tyson E. Lewis challenges the dominant theoretical and practical educational responses to globalization. On the level of public policy, Lewis demonstrates the limitations of both neoliberal privatization and liberal calls for rehabilitating public schooling. On the level of pedagogy, Lewis breaks with the dominant liberal democratic tradition which focuses on the cultivation of democratic dispositions for cosmopolitan citizenship. Shifting focus, Lewis posits a new location for education out of bounds of the common sense of public versus private, nationalism versus cosmopolitanism, inclusion versus exclusion, human versus civil rights. This is the space of the commonwealth whose actors cannot be identified as ‘citizens’ but are rather the anonymous multitude. In conclusion, Lewis finds a model for organizing this commonwealth in the work of Ivan Illich, whose learning networks speak to the urgent political and pedagogical need for exodus from the conceptual vocabulary that defines much of the contemporary field of educational theory.
