Abstract

[The personalist philosophies of John Macmurray, Mounier, or Buber, set personhood at the centre of their ethics (what should be done?), epistemologies (what can be known?), ontologies (what is there?), and politics (how is power wielded?). Personalists do not all agree on what a ‘person’ or ‘education’ is, but they all put personhood at the centre of their understanding of schooling, and personhood is developed in relation. A second characteristic feature of personalism is a concern with individuality: each person is non-trivially unique, and is to be treated as distinctive and not as a mere representative of a type. Understanding personhood and personalism in school helps us understand the lived reality of classrooms, the lives of children, young people, and adults.]
