The general theme of the conference is to explore a Wittgensteinian \;approach to the interplay between philosophical method\, pedagogy in \;general and philosophy of education.
Teaching and various forms of instruction\, training and learning are \;recurrent themes in the writings of Ludwig Wittgenstein\, making his \;philosophy a rich source for our understanding of the relationship between \;education and learning. Moreover\, Wittgenstein&rsquo\;s work is an increasing \;influence in debates within the philosophy of education\, especially in \;questions concerning the pedagogies of philosophy\, therapeutic and \;dialogical methods in education\, the role of practice for learning and \;discussions of the respective contribution to education from philosophy \;and empirical research.
