ABSTRACT

This chapter explores a type of scenario that essentially constitutes an entire course. The aim would be to actually enact ethics as an ongoing, compelling, semi-negotiated set of agreements with others, and as a co-responsibility, not arbitrary or distant, and not something that the authors can just opt out of if it proves inconvenient. At long last, it produced agreements governing our general procedure as well as many specific specifics: everything from our basic ethical attitudes to sourcing information, how the authors listened to each other, and establishing student moderators and tone monitors. Finally, they turn to philosophies of education that question education as such at deeper and systematically more radical levels. On occasion, they have also redesigned a classroom on their own campus again looking at even the physical layout and furnishings of a classroom as an embodied philosophy of education.
