  Investigating the politics of childhood, education and what a teacher does, this book creates a space for teachers to define and perform their profession in relation to its historical and intellectual roots; to see themselves as political actors and not mere executors of something they cannot even question. By returning to the origins of education, this book considers its role in today's society by reuniting philosophy and pedagogy. Using these new perspectives as well as practical examples of teacher's work, this book will give students, teachers and researchers tools for critiquing simplified ideas of the teacher, and provides inspiration to experiment with alternative ways of working.
