Educational philosopher Wilfred Carr claims that the formation of philosophy of education in accordance with the theory-centered paradigm of modernist philosophy is responsible for the miserable fact that educational practitioners take no interest in philosophy of education. A real contemporary philosophy of education, Carr suggests, would give up theory and the “foundationalist” idea of seeking a firm ground for practice outside of practice.   The paper, firstly, takes up Carr’s debate with Paul Hirst on Carr’s notion of philosophy of education, and, secondly, moves on to inquire the interpretation of Aristotle’s practical philosophy by Hans-Georg Gadamer, whom Carr refers to. Finally, the paper outlines some merits of Gadamer’s hermeneutics that philosophy of education should adapt

The connection between a non philosophical work and its reception in education through its transformation into a learning/teaching material and a possible philosophical reading, in order to recognize and define the philosophical stance of this very material, could not but be a challenge for philosophy of education itself, namely, in its relation to (or as) practical philosophy. This kind of reduction to the state of material could instrumentalize the latter raising practical, ethical and methodological issues about the pedagogical intention itself; subsequently, the art, literature, philosophy, and science lying behind materials become equally instrumentalized and evacuated. This article attempts, on the one hand, to circumscribe and describe this movement of “becoming material” as a question philosophically and pedagogically challenging and, on the other, to reflect about a critical understanding of this very question as an example of research in practical philosophy.

In the 21st century, more attention is drawn to the development of ecological thinking. Instead of explicating treatment of nature, a human being should take care of it. Such a caring attitude should become an educational universal, so it is to be transmitted as value. However, the ecological-discursive paradigm is still problematic in education. Therefore, the objective of the paper is to analyze it as a complex approach in philosophy of education. The paper considers environmental anthropology as the methodological basis of the ecological-discursive paradigm. Ecological culture is analyzed as ethnics of conservation. The paper emphasizes that ecological thinking cannot be developed without changing an epistemological model. Thus, instead of facts and competences, the person’s cognition should be based on values. The paper highlights the idea of diagnostic cognition, which is based on values. Its development in the process of education is the first step to the ecological-discursive paradigm.

Some polemic versions of the contemporary philosophy of education are regarded which lend it the character of the provocatively through setting accents on the intern paradoxes of changes designed of the educational modernization and formed under the pressure of globalization. The contextual conditions of the postindustrial transformations in the educational system are explicated which were structured by the influences of the industrial imperatives. The theoretical explorations of K.P. Liessmann, R.D. Precht   and A. Reckwitz were chosen to show the structure and the content of changes in education including the consequences of the educational globalization. The tendency to refuse the European educational priorities is critically analyzed. There is the negative way to state the logic of the industrialism as the logic of the universality preserving postmodern singularity of the educational institutions what makes evident the ambivalence of the knowledge society. Some attempts are explicated, which try to give rehabilitation for the “useless knowledge” in the curriculum options what is connected with getting back the ideal of the cultivated man and with actualizing the hidden senses of conservatism (Liessmann) or pseudo-revolutionary appeals (Precht). The provocative philosophy of education in its different representations might be regarded as a special mode for activation of the theoretical critical thinking with the purpose for early detecting of risks, cultural and pedagogical pathologies appearing through postindustrial shifts in the culture, which can provoke some symptoms of the re-feudalization in the academically communities. It is concentrated not only on the positive side of the educational transformations, but else on their negative effects, loading of social and psychological traumas, and proposes different variants answering on the claims of the contemporary education aiming their additionally verification. The intrinsic contradictoriness of this kind of philosophy can be acceptable as a articulating of its openness, connected with its principle infinitely, and might be regarded as productive strategy of communication in the discourse devoted to the perspective of the development of education in the uncertain postindustrial conditions.

En el 51 aniversario de la publicación de Verdad y método (1960) de Hans-Georg Gadamer, este ensayo abordará la articulación entre el proyecto hermenéutico ―inicialmente formulado como una investigación que tiene como objetivo repensar el fenómeno de la com-prensión en la medida en que se refiere a toda nuestra experiencia vital― y su caracterización como filosofía práctica en las categorías de la pluralidad, el diálogo y la responsabilidad. En otras palabras, vamos a mostrar cómo Gada-mer, en el contexto de nuestros tiempos tecnológicos y bajo una influencia fenomenológica, define la hermenéutica como la “praxis” de la comprensión del otro. Este “praxis” debe ser concebida a la vez como un “aprendizaje de humildad”, capaz de ayudarnos a construir “un mundo razonablemente ordenado y comprensible, donde estamos obligados a vivir”. Para ello nos concentraremos en la rehabilitación de Gadamer de algunos temas de la filosofía griega que le permiten formular su concepto de “praxis” en oposición a su significado moderno, así como a la cultura de expertos de la sociedad contemporánea.At the 51st anniversary of the publication of Hans-Georg Gadamer’s Truth and method (1960), this paper will approach the articulating thread between the hermeneutical project—initially formulated as an investigation that aims to rethink the phenomenon of understanding in as much as it concerns to all our vital experience—and its characterization as practical philosophy under the categories of plurality, dialogue and responsibility. In other words, we will show how Gadamer, in the context of ours technological times and under a phenomenological influence, defines hermeneutics as the “praxis” of understanding the other. This “praxis” must be conceived at the same time as a “learning of humility”, capable of helping us to construct “a reasonably ordered and comprehensible world where we are bound to live”. To this extend we will concentrate ourselves in Gadamer’s rehabilitation of some topics of Greek philosophy, that will allow him formulate his concept of “praxis” in opposition to its modern meaning as well as to the expert culture of contemporary society.

This article examines the many traces of John Rawls’ theory of justice in contemporary philosophy of education. Beyond work that directly explores the educational implications of justice as fairness and political liberalism, there are many interesting debates in philosophy of education that make use of Rawlsian concepts to defend views that go well beyond those advocated in justice as fairness. There have also been methodological debates on Rawls’ distinction between ideal and non-ideal theory which concern the proper balance between empirically informed discussion and fruitful normative reflection.
