The Teacher as an Authority: Between Heracles and Gregor Samsa

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study analyses two models of authority in the perspective of philosophy of education – one associated with the Herculean myth and its romantic re-reading, and the other with Latour’s interpretation of Gregor Samsa concerning teaching. The study analyses two models of authority and attempts to point out a particular crisis in the understanding of authority in the context of critical perceptions of modernity.
