The Ways We Think critiques predominant approaches to the development of thinking in education and seeks to offer a new account of thought informed by phenomenology, post-structuralism and the ‘ordinary language’ philosophical traditions.
* Presents an original account of thinking for education and explores how this alternative conception of thought might be translated into the classroom
* Explores connections between phenomenology, post-structuralism and ordinary language philosophical traditions
* Examines the relevance of language in accounts of how we think
* Investigates the philosophical accounts of Gilbert Ryle, Martin Heidegger, John Austin and Jacques Derrida
* Draws upon experience of own teaching practice as philosopher-in-residence
