The 2016 Conference of the International Network of Philosophers of Education sought to address such concerns through the theme 'Philosophy as translation and the understanding of other cultures'. This book addresses questions of ethics, desire, religious understanding, intercultural philosophy, and practices of higher education and teacher education raised at this conference. It was originally published as a special issue of Ethics & Education.
