This chapter investigates how the long-term project we are opposite like that (2017–2022) by contemporary artist Himali Singh Soin engages with posthuman feminist concepts within an Arctic discourse, here in particular in relation to the climatic changes that lead to the melting of the Polar caps, and what the gradual disappearance and transformation of what has dominated its landscape and mythologies ...

The chapter discuss how selected theories on free will can help us understand and take a critical perspective on conceptions of self in education today. The chapter is a contribution to a philosophical anthropology for education and a contribution to a metaphysics of education, in the sense that it gives an answer to the question “What is man?” Both Kant and Sartre’s assumption of the existence of ...
