Carnival And Domination: Pedagogies Of Neither Care Nor Justice, Alexander M. Sidorkin
Carnival And Domination: Pedagogies Of Neither Care Nor Justice, Alexander M. Sidorkin
Faculty Publications
There are two alternative projects to overcome domination in education with ethics of justice and ethics of care. I want to look beyond disagreements between the two projects about the essence of morality. Both these projects, from my point of view, have clear limits. The domination is mainly a problem of freedom, and ethics deal with a problem of good and evil. In other words, I suggest that reduction of human evil may reduce domination, but does not free us from it. Other approaches, like carnival and similar cultural phenomena, would do a better job of overcoming domination.
Authenticity-Dialogicality-Recognition, Alexander M. Sidorkin
Authenticity-Dialogicality-Recognition, Alexander M. Sidorkin
Faculty Publications
Charles Taylor has made a remarkable attempt to recover the moral ideal of authenticity as opposed to the debased form of authenticity, that leads to individualism. He points at the dialogical nature of authenticity, and finally, in another work, justifies the need for recognition. I want to show that the middle part of this chain of argument, dialogicality, if properly understood, cannot lead us to recognition in the sense Taylor ascribes to the latter.
