Senior Seminar: Statement of Intent
http://seniorseminar-jmc.blogspot.com/2009/02/statement-of-intent.html
Monday, February 16, 2009. The main question I wish to pursue in this seminar is “What is the value of a liberal education? My interest here is quite frankly the result of my own educational experience and the fact that I’m nearing its end. I suppose I’m looking for some affirmation that my educational experience was the best that it could have been, or at least that the various institutions I was enrolled in afforded me the best possibilities for my own intellectual growth. . Why yes, it has been years.

Senior Seminar: continental contributions
http://seniorseminar-jmc.blogspot.com/2009/02/continental-contributions.html
Tuesday, February 24, 2009. I will take this post to share some of the key points from the essay I discussed in class today. What Standish discusses in this essay is what the term "Europe" means, particularly how it relates to the Philosophy of Education today; he discusses some of the main currents of philosophical thought that have shaped the Philosophy of Education today; the distinction between postmodernity and poststructuralism; and the institutionalization of the field in Europe.

Senior Seminar: Cultivating...phronesis? through art
http://seniorseminar-jmc.blogspot.com/2009/02/cultivatingphronesis-through-art.html
Tuesday, February 17, 2009. I read two articles for today. The first was by Patricia Werhane. She focused largely on the way we approach morality inside of systems. Her argument was that solutions focusing just on individuals tend to miss the larger picture. Systems are connected, organic; solutions must take account of the relationships that exist between different parts of the system. A common example of a system is a corporation. I found this article interesting, but had a few questions. First, I ...

Senior Seminar: Crisis and Revision
http://seniorseminar-jmc.blogspot.com/2009/03/crisis-and-revision.html
Monday, March 23, 2009. The gist of the questions: How does spirituality fit into education? To what degree should an educational institution promote spirituality and in what ways should it do so? Obviously, these probably aren't the final question I'll be asking. That never seems to be the case. However, I feel this is a good starting point to promote discussion for tomorrow. So, if there's no objection, come to our meeting with this post in mind. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Senior Seminar: Defining Understanding
http://seniorseminar-jmc.blogspot.com/2009/02/defining-understanding.html
Wednesday, February 11, 2009. Richard Mason, pg 1. The title of this book is reflexive because the subject matter is. Anyone presenting a theory about understanding must be aiming to understand it: surely a philosophical task. But there is need to tread carefully, to avoid begging the question. To set off by trying to define understanding would be a poor start. Can we assume that a definition- or theory- offers a route to understanding? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
