Bruce Haynes

Teachers as trusted professionals Popular writer Adam Grant has looked at what has made the Finnish school system among the most successful in the world: In the early 1990s, a new leader came in and called for another set of dramatic changes to create ‘a new culture of education.’ Policymakers started engaging teachers and students […]

Heraclitus and Trust

Bruce Haynes

Heraclitus, or Herakleitos (c. 500BC), famously addressed the classic Greek philosophical problem of reality (in part), saying, ‘You cannot step twice into the same river.’ It is not only the river that is constantly changing, but you also. Heraclitus’s resolution of the problem of identity (same/different) and related philosophical problems (appearance/reality) was presented not as […]

Trust Relations and Philosophical Investigations

Bruce Haynes

To advocate that the conduct of schooling, and other things, should be conceived in terms of trust relations and not truth statements is not to say that teachers and others in schools should conduct ordinary language philosophical investigations. It is to say that they should conduct investigations into the actual and potential trust relations in […]

Rorty, Trust and Education

Bruce Haynes
Rorty in Barcelona

Richard Rorty, in the papers presented in Objectivity, Relativism, and Truth (1991), set out some objections to the dominant Anglo-American philosophical focus on objectivity, transcendence and truth, and the supposed alternatives, relativism and scepticism. He lauded a general Franco-German trend away from a realist position but saw as problematic some after-effects of embracing Marxism by […]

When Should a Caveman Trust a Philosopher King?

Bruce Haynes

As a caveman, I have problems with the philosopher king/s. These problems seem unchanged whether the question in the title is thought to be peculiarly masculine or inclusive or whether the gender is changed. Similarly, age, ethnicity and quality of shoe (if any) do not seem particularly germane. Being conscious and of an enquiring mind […]

Trust and the autonomous individual

Bruce Haynes

Introduction It is a truth universally acknowledged that the human foetus is dependent on its mother, becomes a more independent individual upon birth and, with maturation and education, may become an autonomous individual with a discrete body and a history separate from that of the mother. Beyond that, universally acknowledged truths become harder to find unless, […]

A trust reading list

Bruce Haynes

One consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic in Australia has been a resurgence of trust in Australian institutions, a resurgence that has not been so evident in some other societies. Some questions remain. Whether this trust is maintained in general. Whether the Australian university sector suffers long-term funding harm and loss of trust as a result […]
