ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I explore how an ethics of rhythm brings out variations of interdependence between people, and at the same time strengthens and supports the need for a philosophical rethinking of the educational aporia – that is, that nobody knows the future. Inspired by Roland Barthes’ concept of rhuthmos and Eva Kittay’s argument on dependency relations as a starting point for justice, I argue that rhythms affect, shape, and set boundaries for interpersonal relationships in a way that forces a greater awareness towards a fine-tuned listening attitude as part of the philosophy of education.
