Tytuł i abstrakt:

REASON AND RESPONSE-ABILITY
Tim Ingold
Societies institutionally committed to the advance of science and civilisation regard
education, first and foremost, as an engine of progress. It allows each generation to stand
on the shoulders of its predecessors. The promise of education lies principally in its
cultivation of arts of the intellect which, in their operation, are entirely indifferent to
variations of human experience – or at best, treat these variations as material for analysis.
Yet this regime of progressive education, wedded to a meritocratic conception of
citizenship, has generated unsustainable inequalities in the distribution of reward and
undermined the democratic commitment to the common good. To heal the rift between
democracy and education means placing response-ability and sensitivity to difference
before rationality and standardised measures of attainment, allowing generations, once
again, to work together in producing a future for all.
