ΑΙΕΝ ΑΡΙΣΤΕΥΕΙN
"Knowledge emerges only through invention and re-invention, through the restless, impatient, continuing, hopeful inquiry human beings pursue in the world, with the world, and with each other."
Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed
"Learning is not just a taking"
If the student only takes over something which is offered he does not learn. He comes to learn only when he experiences what he takes as something he himslef already has. True learning only occurs where the taking of what one already has is a self-giving and is experienced as such. Teaching, therefore, does not mean anything else than to let others learn, i.e., to bring one another to learning. Learning is more difficult than teaching; for only he who can truly learn- and only as long as he can do it- can truly teach.
Heidegger, 1968 p. 73.
"[An educator's] efforts must be imbued with a profound trust in people and their creative power."
Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed
