"Presenting a unique exploration of education as "the edge of experience," this book investigates how unassimilable concepts can help reconceptualize education so that we might resolve that which is beyond understanding. Working at the intersection of curriculum theory, philosophy and psychoanalysis, Morris examines how each of these "unassimilable" concepts, such as lament, disavowal, breathlessness, and the Kafkaesque, point toward currere as the edge of experience. It addresses what Lee Braver called "the groundless ground" and what Avital Ronell calls "the quicksand that is philosophy" to approach the idea of slippage and breaking points through an interdisciplinary lens. Pointing to an understanding of our largely social ills and extending William F. Pinar's early work on currere in new and innovative directions, this book will appeal to curriculum theorists, education philosophers, psychoanalysts, and those with interests in the philosophy and theory of education"--
