Fighting for Knowledge: Enacting Equality

Lecture and Open Public Dialogue with Steven Corcoran

Philosophy, politics, art, science – all are tied through the knot of education. It is no wonder that during social uprisings and radical episodes of human history, education becomes a philosophical, political and artistic question. Indeed, today’s neoliberal intensified commodification of education has only laid the ground work for the authoritarian turn of the Greek government, with its Higher Education Bill and permanent deployment of the state Police forces on university campuses. The heart of the question is of course the relationship between knowledge and authority, ignorance and competence. Plato was the first to insist that education must be by truths, as opposed to the sophistic claims to knowledge that prevailed. In the nineteenth century, revolutionary French educator Joseph Jacotot, whose exploits were brilliantly translated into our times by Jacques Rancière in his paradoxically titled book, The Ignorant Schoolmaster, overturns the Platonic order. Learning is not about the one who knows more teaching the one who knows less; it is about verifying an axiom of the equality of intelligences. Here pedagogical practice usefully informs philosophical practice. Key to both approaches is the idea that education cannot be contained within the authority of an institution. In this talk I would like to explore the philosophical tenets of these approaches and invite a discussion around novel approaches to education within the contemporary neoliberal landscape.

Steven Corcoran is the secretary of Parrhesia: School of Philosophy, Berlin, a non-profit educational organization devoted to philosophy as a public practice. He is the editor of The Badiou Dictionary and has edited/translated over 20 works of philosophy, including, among others, by Alain Badiou (Conditions, Polemics and The Idea of Communism), by Jacques Rancière (Dissensus, Hatred of Democracy, The Edges of Fiction, What Times Are We Living In?), by Frantz Fanon (Alienation and Freedom), and three recent works by Achille Mbembe (Necropolitics, The Earthly Community, and Brutalism). His current projects include a book on egalitarian political organization and imagination, and a special issue on the thought of Jacques Rancière for Continental Thought and Theory.
