ABSTRACT

Chapter 4 concerns the question of what the older generation wants with the young. However, it does not do this in an instrumental sense, asking for where they should go and who they should become. Rather, it poses the question of what it is we want education to offer the young, how can they begin with their relation to the world. This brings us to an outrospective idea of education highlighting self-outsight rather than self-insight as its purpose. This is in opposition to the present discourse valuing so-called student-centred education.
