This article finds that Dewey's original sense of critical (which I term d-Critical) functions operatively (as a set of regulating procedures that fine-tune bounded inquiry) and normatively (as an assessment of how safeguarded inferences made during an act of thinking are). Through a close reading and analysis of Dewey's explanatory analogies, I show that Dewey's sense of critical avoids the four dangers outlined in Johnson and Hamby's critique of current definitions of critical thinking: a) failure to capture the sense of the term critical; b) conflation with related constructs; c) sublimation of the concept; and d) ignoring the role of belief maintenance. The result is a clarification of Dewey's meaning that distinguishes reflective thought from critical thought and portrays criticality as a property of safeguarded acts of thinking.","PeriodicalId":47134,"journal":{"name":"EDUCATIONAL THEORY","volume":"76 5","pages":"597-617"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/edth.70106","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148962462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His practical papers of the late 1960s and early 1970s sought to restore professional judgment to a field dominated by technical rationality and policy prescription. Yet, despite its democratic intent, Schwab's conception of the practical rests on an empiricist epistemology that reduces deliberation to procedural coordination. This article revisits Schwab's framework through the philosophical lens of sapience. Drawing on Sellars, Brandom, Gadamer, Murdoch, and Arendt, we reconstruct curriculum deliberation as a form of reasoning that is inferential, ethical, and temporal rather than merely instrumental. Our analysis proceeds as an immanent critique, acknowledging Schwab's historical achievement while showing that his model of the practical cannot sustain the conditions of knowledge or judgment it presupposes. The article concludes that educational practice requires not the restricting but the deepening of theory, toward a sapient understanding of teaching as participation in the space of reasons. A sapient curriculum reclaims time for reflection, moral attention, and the interpretive labor of understanding qualities that procedural deliberation cannot provide but upon which education depends.","PeriodicalId":47134,"journal":{"name":"EDUCATIONAL THEORY","volume":"76 5","pages":"673-690"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/edth.70105","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148962461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some of the literature on the topic focuses on the question of what metaphor for the relationship between nature and culture environmental art educators should adopt and attempt to convey to their students. In this article, I argue that such a focus reflects a problematically instrumental conception of art education, a conception that seems to partly stem from confusion about the epistemological status of art. To bring clarity to this matter, I will examine John Dewey's ideas about the nature of aesthetic qualities and aesthetic experience. According to Dewey, aesthetic qualities are culminations of human-environment transactions. He believed that art, contrary to science or other forms of declarative knowledge, operates indirectly, qualitatively, and imaginatively. In light of this, it seems implausible that the arts could be used to convey a specific metaphorical worldview to students. I argue that the aim of environmental art education should rather be to cultivate students' ability to experience the world aesthetically.","PeriodicalId":47134,"journal":{"name":"EDUCATIONAL THEORY","volume":"76 5","pages":"637-654"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/edth.70103","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148962650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article presents a perspective that might contribute to the prevailing ways of theorizing about how education could be taken beyond the program: namely, a deconstructionist perspective derived from the work of American philosopher and theologian John D. Caputo. This article begins with a discussion of the relation between the program of education and the “name” of education by posing the question: can a program of education (ever) be worthy of its name? The answer I give, in short, is “no.” Next, I engage with the question of the ontological status of the program and argue that there is, properly or ontologically speaking, nothing beyond the program. The two sections that follow discuss how education could go beyond the program of being and becoming on the one hand, and the program of education itself on the other. Overall, I present and argue for a Caputo-inspired deconstructionist way to theorize about education that tries to take education beyond the program by exploring its possibilities for the event without being hostile to the inherent program-ness of education.","PeriodicalId":47134,"journal":{"name":"EDUCATIONAL THEORY","volume":"76 5","pages":"655-672"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/edth.70104","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148962470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While these developments are frequently described as a “backlash,” the concept of backlash itself has rarely been theorized in education. Drawing on recent affect and political theory, this article offers a conceptual framework for understanding contemporary resistance to DEI initiatives as a distinct form of affective-political mobilization rather than a simple reaction to specific policies. Situating current disputes within a longer history of contestation over liberal educational reforms, the article argues that backlash to DEI operates as an affective-political dynamic shaped by perceptions of elite overreach, loss of voice, and challenges to institutional legitimacy. By applying the lens of backlash politics to higher education, the article illuminates why DEI has become such a charged object of struggle and what this reveals about the limits and tensions of liberal educational projects under conditions of polarization.","PeriodicalId":47134,"journal":{"name":"EDUCATIONAL THEORY","volume":"76 4","pages":"486-505"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/edth.70095","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148389250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In response, Aristotelian Climate Change Education (CCE) aims to cultivate radicalized climate virtues in students and give them structured opportunities to contemplate Socrates's question—“How should one live?”—amidst conditions of unprecedented ecological uncertainty. However appealing this approach may be to environmentalists, it faces a serious objection from political liberals who appeal to the principle of neutrality toward competing conceptions of the good life. In this article, we draw from critical theorist Rahel Jaeggi's Critique of Forms of Life to address the concern about liberal neutrality while deepening our account of Aristotelian CCE. Jaeggi's work helps us diagnose liberal neutrality as an ideological avoidance strategy and offers an alternative, context-transcending standard for legitimacy grounded in whether a form of life can learn from crises and overcome its own blockages to learning. After showing why Aristotelian CCE should not be held to liberal neutrality as a standard of legitimacy, we argue that it is nevertheless legitimate because it cultivates capacities, such as problem recognition and good deliberation, necessary for successful learning. Along with structured time and space for contemplation about the good life, an education in radicalized climate virtues prepares students to flourish as they and their forms of life learn from a continually evolving climate.","PeriodicalId":47134,"journal":{"name":"EDUCATIONAL THEORY","volume":"76 4","pages":"448-466"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/edth.70096","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148389093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
