چکیده:
This dialogue presents an engaging discussion on the role of philosophers of education in relation to pedagogy, scholarship, and broader societal concerns like world peace. It highlights key tensions: the extent to which educators should cultivate particular dispositions or virtues, the nature of good teaching, and whether philosophers of education have a duty beyond their discipline to engage in political or moral advocacy. Working from different philosophical traditions and sensibilities, the authors take opposing positions with respect to the role of philosophy of education in addressing world peace. We focus on both teaching and scholarship. We use a dialogue format to examine some of the values and assumptions at issue in our disagreements.
