This article deals with
a topic, which is not taken up in present research on education,
namely punishment. Although some work does exist on the question,
the act of punishing is usually seen as «shameful but
necessary practice», and has not constituted a field of
research on its own. The article focuses on two main points:
first that punishment, whether as a concept or as a practice,
should become an object of research in the domain education
philosophy. Secondly, that it is through such investigation
that punishment (the act of punishing) will attain a fully educative
dimension. |
