   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; deliberative democracy; democratic education; deliberation; citizenship education; educational theory; philosophy of education and political theory.; pedagogik; Education;

   Abstract : The present thesis suggests ideas for a theory on the education of deliberative democratic citizens in a multicultural society in terms of what I have called Eddemcit.

4. 2. becoming things, becoming-world : On Cosmopolitanism, Reification and Education

   Author : Claudia Schumann; Klas Roth; Niclas Rönnström; Paul Standish; David Hansen; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; cosmopolitanism; reification; globalization; education; philosophy; educational theory; critical pedagogy; particularism; universalism; objectivity; Critical Theory; New Wittgensteinianism; György Lukács; Gerard Delanty; Axel Honneth; Alice Crary; pedagogik; Education;

   Abstract : What if education were not about becoming something, making something of yourself, becoming some thing? What if we were to consider education as becoming-world? These questions are posed against the background of the current populist nationalist backlash against the consequences of globalization, along with growing anti-intellectualism and anti-democratic sentiment. How can education contribute locally and globally to fostering and safeguarding the very possibility of democratic practices against the neoliberal consecration of reified social relations? Becoming Things, Becoming-world contributes to contemporary discussions in philosophy of education by developing a vision of a critical educational cosmopolitanism founded upon a renewed critique of reification.
