What is education? Most of the time, we have little patience for this question because we take the answer to be obvious: we identify education with school learning. This book focuses on education outside of the school context as a basis for criticizing and improving school learning. Following the examples of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and John Dewey, Arcilla seeks to harmonize schooling with a more pervasive education we are all naturally undergoing. He develops a philosophical theory of education that stresses the experience of being led out—a theory latent in the Latin term, “educere”—by examining the road movies of Wim Wenders. This book contributes both to our understanding of another crucial kind of education our schooling could better serve, and to our appreciation of what unifies and distinguishes Wenders’s achievements in cinema.

René V. Arcilla is Professor of Philosophy of Education at New York University's Steinhardt School, USA. He is past-president of the Philosophy of Education Society and the author of For the Love of Perfection: Richard Rorty and Liberal Education (1995) and Mediumism: A Philosophical Reconstruction of Modernism for Existential Learning, (2010) and co-editor of A Life in Classrooms: Philip W. Jackson and the Practice of Teaching (2007).
