Description: The Rediscovery of Teaching presents the innovative claim that teaching does not necessarily have to be perceived as an act of control but can be understood and configured as a way of activating possibilities for students to exist as subjects. By framing teaching as an act of dissensus that is as an interruption of egological ways of being this book positions teaching at the progressive end of the educational spectrum where it can be reconnected with the emancipatory ambitions of education. In conversation with the works of Emmanuel Levinas Paulo Freire Jacques Ranci re and other theorists Gert Biesta shows how students existence as subjects hinges on the creation of existential possibilities through which students can assert their "grown - up" place in the world. Written for researchers and students in the areas of philosophy of education educational theory curriculum theory teaching and teacher education The Rediscovery of Teaching demonstrates the important role of teachers and teaching in the project of education as emancipation towards grown - up ways of being in the world.
