A Concept of Education in the Experience of Freedom A Concept of Education in the Experience of Freedom: Hermeneutic-Phenomenological Investigations Sun Inn Yun Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD UCL Institute of Education, University College London 2016 Abstract This thesis considers the idea of freedom in education. It attempts to show how prevalent conceptions of education – for example, in progressive child-centred education and in the idea of a liberal education – take on the question of freedom as something that the human being has, a property that human beings have in varying degrees. Freedom is then understood as something that is realised (or frustrated) in one way or another through their education – whether, for example, by allowing children freedom from the start or by restricting their freedom so that they can be initiated into worthwhile pursuits and forms of knowledge. To consider freedom at this level is not only legitimate but desirable up to a point. Freedom is an issue for education. But to confine thinking to these matters is to miss something more fundamental and ultimately more important about freedom. This has to do with the ways that freedom is a precondition for human being: it is freedom that allows human beings to be. This is so because things, for human beings, are understood not just as meaningless objects but in terms of their possibilities. To think of possibility involves a freeing of thought or, otherwise put, a thought that frees. Martin Heidegger provides a uniquely powerful way to this insight, and this thesis is therefore concerned to explore his thought in this respect. As has been seen, this is not just to do with human beings, for on this line of thought, freedom is also a condition for the world to be as world: the idea of world is inseparable from an idea of possibility. Freedom allows human beings to be and things to come into their own nature. Hence, there is a reciprocal relation between human beings and world, and it is the freedom inherent though sometimes latent in thought that allows things to come into presence. This thesis suggests ways of stepping forward from the current discussion of freedom. Within mainstream exploration and analysis of freedom, especially in Anglophone contexts, discussion is typically framed in terms of the contrasting ideas of freedom-from and freedom-to, in the light of which we can then speak of the freedom ‘of’ a person. Freedom in the sense explored in this thesis, however, is not to best understood in these ways. I am concerned instead with freedom as a phenomenon, which appears in education ‘as’ something. In a critical reading of Martin Heidegger and Jean-Luc Nancy, the idea of freedom in educational practice and theory is discussed in terms of five themes: i as movement, as possibility, as a leap, as language, and as thinking. In the light of such a phenomenology, education comes to be seen as a practice (or set of practices) in which the play of freedom reveals and conceals. In this way, the nature of education is considered as freedom in action, through which the human being is defined, refined, and renewed. It follows that any understanding of education that is blind to this freeing of thought is likely to fall short: for such a freeing of thought should be crucial to teaching and understanding in a subject and to the way the newcomer comes into the world. ii Statement of Originality I hereby declare that, except where explicit attribution is made, the work presented in this thesis is entirely my own.

I thank Paul Standish for his unfailing support in my philosophical journey, which has been shaped into the form of the present thesis. The conversation with him has been thought-provoking but full of encouragement. His inexhaustible care and attention extend into the details of writing and the articulation of my thought. The present thesis would not have come to light without the priceless support I have received from the Seles in Steg, Liechtenstein. This is not only a matter of generous financial support – the Seles Scholarship, as we often call it – but also of the incalculable affection and care I have received, which are reflected in every page of this thesis. I deeply thank Hugo, Imelda, Sebastian, and Joder for their generosity and invaluable friendship. I owe special thanks to my teachers, Sunbo Kang, at Korea University, and Yoonmi Lee, at Hongik University, who initially guided me into the philosophical journey I have undertaken. I also thank the Philosophy of Education Research Team at Korea University, led by Yongjin Han and Chang-ho Shin, as well as the Centre for Philosophy of Education at UCL Institute of Education. The thesis is immensely indebted to discussions with the colleagues and academics that I have encountered at various conferences, seminars, and colloquia. I thank them for the fruitful conversations and discussions I have enjoyed. I deeply thank my friends who are busy making their own lives, here and there. Through what was at first a simple exchange of greetings, networks of support have been built, and I have benefited greatly from them. I have found London a richly hospitable place: through a number of exciting academic and cultural events, this city has brought me wonderful opportunities alongside my philosophical journey. I cherish London: the people I have encountered and my time in London. Special thanks go to Kyobin Kang for his unfailing and full-hearted support. I treasure our relationship, friendship, and colleagueship during our PhD journeys in London and Seoul. Finally, I thank the members of my family, in heaven and on earth. They remain in my memories – of the past, of the present, and for the future. v List of Abbreviations of Martin Heidegger’s Works BP The Basic Problems of Phenomenology BT Being and Time CPC Country Path Conversations CT The Concept of Time DT Discourse on Thinking IM Introduction to Metaphysics IP Introduction to Philosophy EG On the Essence of Ground EHF The Essence of Human freedom ET On the Essence of Truth FCM Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics KPM Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics LH Letter on “Humanism” MFL Metaphysical Foundations of Logic OWL On the Way to Language PDT Plato’s Doctrine of Truth PLT Poetry, Language, Thought PR The Principle of Reason PWM Postscript to “What is Metaphysics?” QCT The Question Concerning Technology and Other Essays STF Schelling’s Treatise on the Essence of Human Freedom WCT What Is Called Thinking? WN The Word of Nietzsche WT What is Metaphysics? vi Part I Introduction CHAPTER 1 The Problem of Freedom in the Over-Educated Society The Over-Educated Society The well-known American economist, Richard Freeman, defined the 1970s in the USA with the phrase ‘the over-educated society’ (1976). In his book, the desire and expectation of individuals and society regarding college education is described from an economic perspective. This book is worth looking at in order to evaluate the way education is popularly considered. Freeman states that the value of higher education is to reward individuals with higher salaries and social reputation, and that it also produces national growth in economic and defence terms for society (e.g. after the success of the Soviet Sputnik the US government tried to promote expertise at PhD level in various academic fields). The main argument in his book is that the number of highly educated persons (in an economic context the supply) exceeds the number of available vacancies present in the job market (the demand), and that during the economic recession of the 1970s in the United States this led to a devaluation of higher education in general, reflected in lower salaries and fewer high-level white collar job opportunities than before. He names this phenomenon of the relationship of the number of educated persons to what is required by the labour market in circumstances where supply exceeds demand ‘the over-educated society’. 7 It would be wrong to dismiss this term simply on the grounds that it sees education in a very narrow way. Freeman cautiously differentiates what he means by this term from other accounts as follows: ‘Overeducated relates in this context to the connection between years and type of college studies and labor market earnings and opportunities, not to the broader cultural aspects of higher education’ (Freeman, 1976, p. 4). One of the reasons that Freeman restricts the term over-educated to its economic sense may be to set aside any other possible meanings or values in education for the sake of clarity of argument.

  • WG Sebald and Outsider
    Writing from the Periphery: W. G. Sebald and Outsider Art by Melissa Starr Etzler A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in German and the Designated Emphasis in Film Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Winfried Kudszus, Chair Professor Anton Kaes Professor Anne Nesbet Spring 2014 Abstract Writing from the Periphery: W. G. Sebald and Outsider Art by Melissa Starr Etzler Doctor of Philosophy in German and the Designated Emphasis in Film Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Winfried Kudszus, Chair This study focuses on a major aspect of literature and culture in the later twentieth century: the intersection of psychiatry, madness and art. As the antipsychiatry movement became an international intervention, W. G. Sebald’s fascination with psychopathology rapidly developed. While Sebald collected many materials on Outsider Artists and has several annotated books on psychiatry in his personal library, I examine how Sebald’s thought and writings, both academic and literary, were particularly influenced by Ernst Herbeck’s poems. Herbeck, a diagnosed schizophrenic, spent decades under the care of Dr. Leo Navratil at the psychiatric institute in Maria Gugging. Sebald became familiar with Herbeck via the book, Schizophrenie und Sprache (1966), in which Navratil analyzed his patients’ creative writings in order to illustrate commonalities between pathological artistic productions and canonical German literature, thereby blurring the lines between genius and madness. In 1980, Sebald travelled to Vienna to meet Ernst Herbeck and this experience inspired him to compose two academic essays on Herbeck and the semi-fictionalized account of their encounter in his novel Vertigo (1990).

  • Franz A. Birgel Muhlenberg College
    Werner Herzog's Debt to Georg Buchner Franz A. Birgel Muhlenberg College The filmmaker Wemcr Herzog has been labeled eve1)1hing from a romantic, visionary idealist and seeker of transcendence to a reactionary. regressive fatalist and t)Tannical megalomaniac. Regardless of where viewers may place him within these e:-..1reme positions of the spectrum, they will presumably all admit that Herzog personifies the true auteur, a director whose unmistakable style and wor1dvie\v are recognizable in every one of his films, not to mention his being a filmmaker whose art and projected self-image merge to become one and the same. He has often asserted that film is the art of i1literates and should not be a subject of scholarly analysis: "People should look straight at a film. That's the only \vay to see one. Film is not the art of scholars, but of illiterates. And film culture is not analvsis, it is agitation of the mind. Movies come from the count!)' fair and circus, not from art and academicism" (Greenberg 174). Herzog wants his ideal viewers to be both mesmerized by his visual images and seduced into seeing reality through his eyes. In spite of his reference to fairgrounds as the source of filmmaking and his repeated claims that his ·work has its source in images, it became immediately transparent already after the release of his first feature film that literature played an important role in the development of his films, a fact which he usually downplays or effaces. Given Herzog's fascination with the extremes and mysteries of the human condition as well as his penchant for depicting outsiders and eccentrics, it comes as no surprise that he found a kindred spirit in Georg Buchner whom he has called "probably the most ingenious writer for the stage that we ever had" (Walsh 11).

It was born out of the recognition that scientific discovery and the creation of plausible fictional scenarios are often two sides of the same coin. Each relies on an understanding of the way the world works, coupled with the imaginative ability to invent new or alternative explanations—and even other worlds. Authored by practicing scientists as well as writers of hard science fiction, these books explore and exploit the borderlands between accepted science and its fictional counterpart. Uncovering mutual influences, promoting fruitful interaction, narrating and analyzing fictional scenarios, together they serve as a reaction vessel for inspired new ideas in science, technology, and beyond. Whether fiction, fact, or forever undecidable: the Springer Series “Science and Fiction” intends to go where no one has gone before! Its largely non-technical books take several different approaches. Journey with their authors as they • Indulge in science speculation—describing intriguing, plausible yet unproven ideas; • Exploit science fiction for educational purposes and as a means of promoting critical thinking; • Explore the interplay of science and science fiction—throughout the history of the genre and looking ahead; • Delve into related topics including, but not limited to: science as a creative process, the limits of science, interplay of literature and knowledge; • Tell fictional short stories built around well-defined scientific ideas, with a supplement summarizing the science underlying the plot.

  • GER 407/507 Fall 2020 Prof. Kenneth Calhoon Landscape in Literature
    GER 407/507 Fall 2020 Prof. Kenneth Calhoon Landscape in Literature, Art and Cinema Description. An iconic episode in German literature turns on the problem of landscape. In a letter to his confidant Wilhelm, Goethe’s Werther describes the recent encounter with a certain Lotte, soon to become the object of the young hero’s storied passion. At the invitation of a common acquaintance, he has accompanied her to a country dance, which is interrupted by a sudden thunderstorm. Werther, whose emotions the storm complements, is entranced by the young woman, who manages to distract the frightened celebrants with a parlor game. As the storm finally abates René Magritte, The Human Condition (thunder still rolling in the distance), the two find themselves (1933) at a window gazing out over the rain-drenched scene. Overcome by sentiment, Lotte takes Werther’s hand and, eyes moist, exclaims “Klopstock!,” invoking the poet whose popular ode “Die Frühlingsfeier” (1759) summons a landscape redolent with spring and blessed by rainfall. (J. G. von Goethe, The Sorrows of Young Werther [1774], volume one, letter of June 16th). Beyond serving as a kind erotic currency that passes between Lotte and Werther, Klopstock’s poem is itself a window that opens up within Goethe’s novel. A text framed within a text, it is an instance of the mirroring that, in twentieth-century modernism, often became the object of explicit irony. The Belgian Surrealist René Magritte, for example, often used window casements, mirrors, and paintings themselves to challenge the traditional conception of easel paintings as windows onto the natural-physical world.

  • Chapter Three a Pathological Embodiment This Equivocal Being
    Chapter Three A Pathological Embodiment This equivocal being, who seems to have been placed by nature on the very confines of humanity . Philippe Pinel The denial of intellectually disabled people's capacity for mutuality and sociality, for meaningful and intentional interaction, was underlined in my siblings' records. These records included a combination of medical, psychiatric, psychological, educational and behavioural reports. They also included the daily observations made by staff at the institution where two of my siblings went to live. My family has had to negotiate these professional interpretations and practices; interpretations and practices that have the power to shape the social world within which intellectually disabled people reside. This is not to suggest, however, that there is unity and uniformity amongst these professional reports. They are diverse but are also linked together by an implicit "symbolic scheme" (Sahlins 1976). In Culture and Practical Reason, Marshall Sahlins (1976) argues against materialist and utilitarian interpretations of culture, claiming instead that culture operates according to a "symbolic scheme". As Sahlins explains, his argument: . takes as the distinctive quality of man not that he must live in a material world . but that he does so according to a meaningful scheme of his own devising . It therefore takes as the decisive Chapter Three: A Pathological Embodiment page 102 quality of culture—as giving each mode of life the properties that characterize it—not that this culture must conform to
