But seeing pedagogy as a matter of simply communicating knowledge misses the epistemological complexities of our relationship with the world. By means of a reading of the Dao De Jing and the Zhuangzi, in this paper I intend to explore how the communication of not-knowing may be of central value in teaching and learning. Arguing that our lives are characterised by an ‘epistemological chaos’ in which the distinctions between knowing and not-knowing can never be firmly established, I suggest that the Daoist texts may allow teachers and students to rethink the purpose of education as a matter of yang sheng, or ‘nourishing life, by means of developing skill in dealing with the epistemological chaos in which we are immersed.

Since the beginning, the philosophers have always dreamed of finally reaching solid ground, but their proofs and demonstrations and laws have failed to bring us into harbour. Incapable of defining virtue, we manage to tell tales about it; not quite sure what justice is, we still spin yarns about the just and the unjust. Casting the reader adrift onto the sea of stories, attentive to the changes in the winds and the tides, through both philosophy and storytelling, this book explores ethics not as a means of finding our way back home to a safe harbour, but instead as a way of acclimatising ourselves to life on the seas of uncertainty.Item Metadata only Flesh and Stones(Unmapped Magazine, 2014-07) Buckingham, WillItem Metadata only The full Wellcome.(Crystal Clear Creators, 2010) Buckingham, WillItem Metadata only George's devil.(2012-01-13) Buckingham, WillItem Open Access Goat Music(Roman Books, 2015-09) Buckingham, WillItem Metadata only How many things?(Frogmore Press, 2012-03) Buckingham, WillItem Metadata only How the revolution began.(2010-05-26) Buckingham, WillItem Open Access Introducing Happiness: A Practical Guide(Icon Books / Totem Books, 2012) Buckingham, WillA brief and breezy guide to the various philosophies of happiness—from Zhuangzi to the world of Positive Psychology and from Epicurus to the Buddha—packed with entertaining and fun exercises.
