Wolfgang Bauer

    Wolfgang Bauer's work delved into the restless spirit of the post-war generation. His early plays, such as "Magic Afternoon," starkly examined unmotivated violence and aggression emerging from boredom and apathy. As his career progressed, his writing became increasingly surreal and experimental, reflecting his resistance to categorization by critics. Bauer's influence lies in his uncompromising exploration of the human psyche and societal disarray.

      Moving beyond test scores and outcomes, this volume redefines what it means to learn by intertwining ideas from philosophy, mathematics, and social theory. What does it mean to learn? In On Learning, Volume 3: Knowledge, Curriculum and Ethics, David Scott probes the intricate relationship between knowledge and learning, questioning reductionist and empiricist perspectives that dominate contemporary education. This volume, like the first two in the series, critically analyzes the philosophical and ethical dimensions of learning, pushing beyond simplified notions of curriculum and assessment. Scott ties in a range of key concepts, including epistemology and critical realism, to offer a profound rethinking of what it means to know and engage with the world. At the heart of this book is a call to recognize that learning is not merely a mechanical process or a set of measurable outcomes but a deeply human and ethical endeavor. On Learning, Volume 3 urges readers to reconsider the structures that shape education today and invites us to rethink how we understand knowledge and learning, and the values that underpin them.
