THINKING, SPEAKING AND LISTENING: CLASS BETWEEN PHILOSOPHY AND EDUCATION

Abstract

A teacher uses his/her voice and pronounces him/herself to others who will share a space-time dedicated to some aspect of knowledge. In this space-time, institutional, all of them enter into certain orders of discourse and bundles of power, among which we have what is thought, what is spoken and what is heard in the most varied forms of class. We intend here to reflect philosophically about class and its potentialities, in times of administered university. To do so, we will try to learn some lessons from the inaugural lectures of the College de France, especially Michel Foucault's and Roland Barthes', who also take an inaugural look at their intellectual research paths. How can we philosophically listen to these lessons? What can they inaugurate in us? How can we think of the class as a set of events that stand between philosophy and education? Here are the questions we would like to think about.
