Negentropic Education for the Anthropocene: Flourishing as Agapism
Learning: Research and Practice, v10 n2 p146-162 2024
I draw on the work of Bernard Stiegler and Charles Peirce to propose that "negentropic education" is education for "deproletarianizing" society through embracing the possibility of singularities, so we once again know how to live, make and do, and to theorize. We need to pay deep attention to our surroundings and to value our future-oriented desires for a pan-species reality. I argue that education ought to be about inducting individuals into the community of inquiry that seeks the truth, such that flourishing is "agapism;" negentropic education is education for creative love. This is a hopeful form of education, by which students are provided with opportunities to undertake inquiry in creative ways that matter to them and their intergenerational communities.
