08. First Edition Of Lisa (1976) By Matthew Lipman, Matthew Lipman

Middle School Curriculum

Lisa is the story of a school year in the life of an adolescent girl and her classmates, a year studded with physical, aesthetic and ethical awakenings. Various events in these young people's lives prompt them to puzzle over such issues as animal rights, sexism, racism, justice, divorce and death. All of them struggle with issues of identity and thinking for oneself - philosophical issues of perennial concern to adolescents. As they begin to recognize the ethical dimensions of their experience, Lisa and her friends puzzle over such philosophical concepts as the right, the fair, the good, perfection, and naturalism. …

(1976) The Teacher As Liberator: A Nietzschean View, Ann Margaret Sharp

Collected Papers of Ann Margaret Sharp

It is Nietzsche's view that it is the main task of the educator to reach out for the student and to become his agent of liberation, aware that the end result will inevitably be the creation of men who will come into conflict with the prevailing norms of society and who will begin the process of the creation of new values for mankind. In order for this value-creator to become a reality, educators must will his existence consciously and then set about systematically to form him.

What happens when a bear wakes from hibernation to find his forest home has been replaced by a human factory? What if the bear can't convince the factory workers, vice presidents, or president that he is, in deed, a bear and shouldn't be put to work in the factory?

(1975) Education And Culture: A Nietzschean Perspective, Ann Margaret Sharp

Collected Papers of Ann Margaret Sharp

Friedrich Nietzsche was aware of the dangers of the state control over education, as well as the dangers of the technical society in general. Dehumanization, loss of freedom and power to create alternatives for the society could spell the death of the society itself. Human beings could well become nothing more than cogs in a machine of production and consumption. The human self whose urge is the will to grow, to become more, will eventually have nothing to will anymore. Ohly an education which encourages a new conception of freedom -- intellectual freedom as the self affirmation of life against …

A Defense Of Naturalism In Moral Education (1975), Philip C. Guin

Collected Papers of Philip C. Guin

The dissertation investigates the possibility of a naturalist approach to moral education. The two initial chapters deal with questions of freedom and moral relativity, respectively. In regard to moral relativity, it is argued that the facts of cultural diversity fail to support a thesis of cultural relativity. The final two chapters focus on anti-naturalist attempts to discredit naturalism, and on the relation of naturalism to moral education. It is argued that anti-naturalists have failed to offer an adequate account of ethical and moral life, or of the critical demands laid upon the agent in making moral decisions. The naturalist rejoinder …

(1975) Nietzsche’S View Of Sublimation In The Educational Process, Ann Margaret Sharp

Collected Papers of Ann Margaret Sharp

Against the prevailing "return to nature" educational philosophy of his day, Nietzsche stressed sublimation, the active redirecting of one's life energy or the channeling of one's power in the service of creativity, and the inevitability of suffering as essential in the attainment of free­dom. The current educational practice which mitigates the importance of sublimation and suffering were, in his view, a subversive tactic of the German State to keep the reins on individual autonomy and creativity and insure conformity to the status quo.
