Preface and Acknowledgements
Like many (good) ideas, this project started life in a pub in Bloomsbury, London. Over drinks at the end of the IoE-KU Leuven doctoral colloquium in November 2014, we were discussing—coming to terms with— the film we had watched during that event, The Seventh Continent. It became clear that it had something to say, and that we had something to say about it. And so began an intense engagement, in early 2015, with Stanley Cavell’s The World Viewed, as we tried to find a way to articulate how the film, to us at least, had such force. We didn’t set out at that point to write a book. But, one film led to another, and here we are. As well as our shared interest in Cavell’s philosophy, this work developed against the background of Stefan’s work with Judith Suissa, which began to renew the task of articulating an educational-philosophical account of raising children. In the context of an increasingly pervasive parenting culture, dominated by scientific accounts of how best to raise one’s child into the perfect specimen of obedience
