Unable to quit, yet deploring everything education has become. We suffer a weakened and weakening cynicism. This cynicism exploits the last remaining educational commitments of an otherwise broken workforce, draining that workforce of its final pleasure: Revolt. Our cynicism is reactionary and conditional - exhausting us where it might invigorate, rendering us complicit, giving safe passage to bad temper - but can be reclaimed. This book claims we need more cynicism, not less. With \u003cem\u003eThe Cynical Educator \u003c\/em\u003ea revived, militant Cynicism affronts us. Drawing on a long history of religious denial and philosophical intrigue, it brings our educational bad faith to the surface. It confronts the educated with the fruit of their conceit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ansgar Allen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1906948356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781906948351\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mayflybooks\/Ephemera\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.54d","brand":"Ansgar Allen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074086072575,"sku":"9781906948351","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3d1f686d-7e58-47a6-93a2-df3152b2f6f9.jpg?v=1685451695","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cynical-educator-ansgar-allen-9781906948351","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
