Developing a theme in dialogue with Maxine Greene's philosophy this book introduces the reader
to what animates Greene's passionate work: the self and the imaginary. It illuminates how
Greene empowers us all as learners of the possible by identifying learning with the power of
the imagination. Greene's work promises hope beyond the impasse that often occurs when learning
is reified by educational systems. Education Beyond Education illustrates how Greene redefines
the notion of the imaginary - and with it that of the imagination - as that which expands the
possibilities of learning beyond the boundaries by which education is often narrowly defined
and practiced. Tracing Greene's key arguments Education Beyond Education offers a strikingly
original and empowering way to see and re-position education beyond its customary limits.
