My Teaching, My Philosophy

Kenneth Wain and the Lifelong Engagement with Education

«A fitting tribute to one of the University of Malta’s leading and most internationally published philosophers. He has inspired generations of prospective educators and philosophy students with his lectures and writings since he first joined the university thirty-five years ago. A role model for any scholar and teacher.» (Peter Mayo, Professor of Education, University of Malta)
«Kenneth Wain is an acute observer of the contemporary philosophical landscape and his analyses and commentaries always rank with me as among the most intelligent, critical, and fair of our generation. He has a wealth of experience in senior positions, as an advisor to government, and in administrative matters yet despite the huge demands on his time he somehow found the time to read widely and carefully. His work has made a big difference to the discipline and I enjoyed collaborating with him. He is an exemplary academic and intellectual as I think this edited collection amply demonstrates.» (Michael A. Peters, Professor Emeritus, University of Illinois; Professor, Policy, Cultural, and Social Studies in Education, University of Waikato)
«Kenneth Wain’s pioneering educational-philosophical thought introduced valuable sensibilities and critical insights regarding, inter alia, governmentality, rhetoric, truth, lifelong education, the learning society, and the educated self. After Wain’s handling of such issues philosophers of education can no longer turn an ‘innocent’ gaze to the constellation ‘power, knowledge, and performativity’ without exposing themselves to the charge of researching inadequately and ignoring much important ground that Wain has already covered. Thus, Wain’s work rightfully merits its prominent position (within and outside our field) as a point of reference for any future exploration of related topics.» (Marianna Papastephanou, Professor of Philosophy of Education, University of Cyprus)»
