Teachers often speak of "living on" through their students, and students sometimes speak of a former teacher or teachings "living on" in them. What might teachers and learners mean when they say such things? Dying to Teach, by David J. Blacker, offers an answer to this question: The event of education provides a pathway to a kind of immortality that gives meaning and sustenance to teaching as a whole. From the Western tradition's very first theorizing about education (e.g., Plato and the Sophists) to contemporary postmodernism (e.g., Heidegger, Gadamer, Derrida), this book offers both an intellectual history and a sustained argument for the inescapability of education's immortality agenda.
