Description

The aim of this course is to introduce students to contemporary philosophical theories applied to the field of education. Using the critical theories of society put forward by Jurgen Habermas, students will analyse knowledge and human interests in order to critically understand a range of significant educational issues in terms of their technical, practical and critical consequences.
