Accordingly, four lecturers explore these themes from different viewpoints, similar to the metaphor of four visually impaired people trying to identify an elephant. This paper presents the findings of the four lecturers ; the observations they compiled while ‘touching’ the elephant−like questions, guided by their own individual research interests and knowledge. The response to the class varied, from criticism that the goals of the lesson appeared too vague or confusing, to positive comments about the opportunity to explore concepts more deeply and the uniqueness of the class. In the lecture of the 2013 academic year, Chikamori talked about support from the anthropological viewpoint, quoting findings from several different research fields. Tanimura shed light on the contrasting difference in the way of looking at children between E.H. Erikson and E. Lévinas. Ota discussed the possibility of development under the adverse conditions which humans face referring to the deconstruction of J. Derrida. Then Hirose introduced the practice of “Steiner Education” and discussed the possibility of application of it in Japanese primary schools based on the views of humanity and education according to R. Steiner. This paper is like an itinerary describing not only the narratives during our journey to explore “Education and Humanity”, but also providing evidence of something tangible which emerged within the individual travelers. It is our hope that answers of one form or another to the questions ; ‘What is education?’ and ‘What is humanity?’ might begin to appear in the process of reading and reflecting on this itinerary.}, pages = {378--393}, title = {現代教育人間論における語り : 「教育と人間」探究の旅}, volume = {30}, year = {2015}, yomi = {チカモリ, ケンスケ and タニムラ, チエ and オオタ, ナオヤ and ヒロセ, アヤコ} }
