The Hermeneutics of Liberal Education: A Philosophic Approach to the Theory of Liberal Education Developed by Paul Axelrod and York University's Faculty of Education

ByDaniel Deleanu

focuses on the theory of liberal education developed by Paul Axelrod and his colleagues from York University's Faculty of Education in Toronto, such prominent scholars as Patrick Solomon and Sharon Todd, among others. This book explores hermeneutically, in the spirit of H.R. Jauss'School of Constance, the nature of liberal education itself. Is it possible to reconcile liberalism and indoctrination in contemporary education? Or individualism and multiculturalism? How do we understand the values of liberal education in the context of globalization and a postindustrial society? And what does Axelrodian liberal education imply about the reinterpretation of the world in the digital era? Daniel Deleanu, M.A., Ph.D. is Professor of Education Studies in the field of English, Linguistics, Literary Theory, and Ethics at Kennedy College in Toronto, Ontario. Dr.Deleanu is the creator of logosophism, an original philosophical system, and the author of a dozen books.
