Recent work in philosophy and education theory has seen a growing
interest in the concepts of skill and expertise. Drawing on work of,
for example, Ryle, Dreyfus, Bourdieu and Wittgenstein, and on recent
developments in cognitive science, theorists have been developing
alternatives to the intellectualist-individualist-disembodied paradigm
that has long dominated work on cognition, learning and interaction.
The move to a perspective that takes the thinking, learning subject as
primarily engaged and embodied has profound implications for our
understanding of teaching and learning, and of cognition more
generally. These developments in philosophy and education have tended
to proceed in isolation, however, and this workshop will provide an
opportunity to bring the two strands together, to examine differences
and similarities of approach, and to explore the possibilities of
further collaboration.
