Inspired by the work of the influential philosopher John McDowell, Bakhurst maintains that the distinctive character of human psychological powers resides in our responsiveness to reasons, a capacity that develops in children as they are initiated into traditions of thinking and reasoning. In this process of formation (or Bildung), children enter 'the space of reasons' to become rational agents in self-conscious control of their thoughts and actions. In addition to exploring McDowell's ideas, Bakhurst draws on a variety of thinkers - including Davidson, Hacking, Ilyenkov, Strawson, Vygotsky, Wiggins, and Wittgenstein - to illuminate questions of personhood, identity, learning, rationality, and freedom. Offering an intellectually stimulating exploration of the conceptual foundations of the philosophy of education, The Formation of Reason breathes fresh life into a familiar but controversial idea: that the end of education is the cultivation of autonomy"--Provided by publisher.Journal of philosophy of education book series ;12.Philosophy of mindKnowledge, Theory ofReasonElectronic books.Philosophy of mind.Knowledge, Theory of.Reason.128.33PHI009000bisacshBakhurst David528119MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910265224003321The formation of reason2252769UNINA
