nate and all -

i will probably burst into flames for suggesting this -

but Cornell Hamm (1989) has written a book on phil of educ which
is introductory;
looks at the flaws of Paul Hirts's enlightenmmnt model and revises
for a critical education;
Hamm argues an education is a moral responsibility, and any education
that cannot account for its moral choices is not education.

knowledge, here, is moral knowledge, based on basic kantian premises
on the primacy of human life as a generalizable rule;

it is traditionlist philosophy; but open to the task of taking a stance
that is responsible and dangerous.

anyone know this work? why do i feel so warm suddenly?
(hoo! hot! hot!) (oooh NOT! NOT!)

In her hips, there's revolution.
When she talks, I hear revolution.
In her kiss, I taste the revolution.
