ABSTRACT

Ē [from/out of] Dūcō [I lead, I conduct]. Would ‘education’ be just any encounter with the ‘post’ of any modo, any ‘just now’ or present moment? In all of its potentials for encounterability, its disseminations or hermeneutics, this leading forth—from a ‘just now’—of ēdūcō is a ‘taking out’, a ‘raising up’, an ‘erecting’, a ‘training’ even. As, at once, a ‘post’ in the sense of a placement, a positioning, but also a sending, and still a temporalizing of an implied ‘after’ [posteriori], would not the initiating of all of the implications of a question of learning not confound an easy accounting for an economy of a simple before-and-after, anticipation and recollection, repetition and restitution? Would the ‘from/out of’ a ‘just now’ determine the locus of an indeterminable here-and-now that would hold the subject of learning—in both senses of its genitive—subjective and objective—en abyme?
