Abstract

This article asks the questions, what is "philosophy as a method?" how can it be conceptualized and what are its genealogies? and what role might it play in the liminal spaces of the intersections of philosophy, methodology, and education? It further aims to perform philosophy as a method through a rereading of the histories of the intersections of philosophy, education, and methodology. In doing so, it also utilizes philosophy as method as a means for undertaking a much-needed critique of the current turns to new ontologies, posthumanism, and new empiricism.
