Teaching as Radical Logic

Dialectic, Analectic, and Education

Edited by Noah De Lissovoy; Raúl Olmo Fregoso Bailón and Alex J. Armonda - Contributions by Alex J. Armonda; Wayne Au; Raúl Olmo Fregoso Bailón; Gregory Bourassa; Jennifer Brant; Noah De Lissovoy; Panayota Gounari; Tyson E. Lewis; Adam Martinez; Nelson Maldonado-Torres; Fikile Nxumalo and João M. Paraskeva

Teaching as Radical Logic: Dialectic, Analectic, and Education features original contributions from leading scholars in the fields of decolonial theory, Marxist theory, and critical education. This volume revitalizes the cross-fertilizing dialogue between traditions that historically propelled global anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist political movements, while restoring to pedagogy its central role as an organizing principle for liberation. At the same time, this volume explores the necessary ground of teaching in fundamental logics of radical thought and action. Starting from an engagement with the philosophical traditions of dialectics and analectics, and challenging familiar partitions between academic orientations and disciplines, the chapters in this volume extend currents in critical theory to offer original analyses of the fundamental organization of capitalism and coloniality in schooling and beyond. Contributors propose new approaches to radical and decolonizing praxis which take teaching seriously as a site for theoretical commitment and creativity. Refusing the notion of method as procedure, these interventions propose modes of critical pedagogical engagement that are at once rigorous and imaginative, and that operate across the diverse contexts and registers of contemporary classrooms, community spaces, and political life.

Teaching as Radical Logic: Dialectic, Analectic, and Education offers a collection of bold and powerful educational perspectives that brilliantly counter the dispersive idealism and disjointed arguments used to undermine and destabilize the epistemic and ontological differences essential to decolonial thought. With careful intellectual discernment, the book interweaves pedagogical visions that rightly refuse to forsake the dignity and multidimensionality of our humanity.
