Theory and the way we relate to the world. On the educational dimension of insight

Abstrakt

This paper investigates the educational dimension of theory, that is, the way theory forms or catalyses human’s relation to the world. This is analysed through the examples of three theoretical standpoints: technology, critique and the philosophy of responsibility. The first two have played their major part in contemporary thought, while the third seems to play a crucial role in currently emerging theories of education. However, the exercise presented in this paper does not aim at apprising one of these standpoints over the others. Rather, it indicates the educational work of theory beyond its application and function.
