Perspectival Horizons

This book explores the concept of criticality. What do we mean by criticality? How do we use it? And how can we connect the concept with making the world a better place? It also introduces a new philosophical field ‘criticality scholarship’ which is underlined by the notion of human flourishing. How can we live an examined life? How can we be meaningful participants in society? And how can we act in the world as socially transforming agents? In the book I traverse some of the critical traditions that inform the idea of criticality as well as the works of Paulo Freire and Ludwig Wittgenstein. I advance my own political and philosophical endeavours by linking criticality with democracy and social justice. Criticality scholarship, however, allows for different paths to be walked. Also, I reflect on the critical being and a critical education.
