Birkbeck
"In 2023, Birkbeck, University of London celebrates 200 years of educating working people in central London. It was founded in 1923 as the London Mechanics' Institution and, from its inception, was a pioneering and radical institution. This history is animated by the conviction that Birkbeck is its people. Their thoughts and ambitions, hopes and dreams, labour and laughter are what this book describes, celebrates, and occasionally laments. It explores the history of education as well as the history of place, politics, radicalism, class, race, gender, disciplinarity, theatre, food, leisure, war, and everyday encounters. Most of all, this book is about ideas. What does it mean to be educated? How have these meanings changed over time? What makes Birkbeck students unique? What does it mean to be fully human, exploiting our faculties in order to become better people?"--

Could mental events be physical? What are some of the Freudian models of mental life? Do we control our behavior through volition? and Can our mental states be active or passive? among others.

Philosophy of Educational Knowledge
For two reasons, we are particularly proud to include Wolfgang Brezinka's Philosophy of Educational Knowledge in this series of books on Philosophy of Education. Thefirst is the philosophicalinterestoftheworkitself-its remarkablescholarship and the importance ofthe philosophical positionswill beobvious to allreaders. The secondisthat it brings to the English-speaking world a wonderful example ofeducational philosophy as now being practiced in the German-speaking world. All too often philosophers in the Anglo-American tradition have not seen the sort of perspective on educational thinking that infuses this work. And since this book has been widely read in its original version, it has had a co...

Fragments on the Deathwatch
"Fragments on the Deathwatch is a humane and lyrical look at the vigil over the dying. Despite the long cultural traditions and profound psychological benefits of the deathwatch, the institutions of modern life - from hospitals to courtrooms - have intruded in this essential practice." "Through literature, philosophy, history, and autobiography, the author delicately probes the taboos around discussions of death. As a legal scholar, she considers whether the law can recognize the needs of families and loved ones and protect the space of their grieving."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
