Abstract	Death : an educational perspective -- Philosophy, death and education -- Dancing with death -- Education, attention and transformation : death and decreation in Tolstoy and Weil -- Immortality, uncertainty and education : Unamuno revisited -- Educating the horizon of understanding through death anxiety -- Learning from the death of others : Levinas and Heidegger on educating for the good beyond being. "Often regarded as one of life's few certainties, death is both instantly familiar to us and deeply mysterious. Death is everywhere, yet few of us take the time to consider its significance in shaping human lives. This book addresses the difficult, complex, sensitive subject of death from a unique point of view. Drawing on insights from philosophers across the ages, the authors argue that death is a matter of profound educational importance. Paying particular attention to thinkers in the existentialist tradition, Philosophy, Death and Education shows that our understanding of death can play a key role in determining what, how and why we teach and learn. Death exerts an influence, often unnoticed, on our commitments and priorities, our ideals and relationships. A thoughtful examination of death, the authors suggest, can help us to see ourselves in a new light, and in so doing, allow us to better appreciate what others have to offer"--Provided by publisher.
