Abstract

What does it mean to approach the Philosophy of Education through the lens of “risk”? How do Desire and Fantasy interplay within this educational dynamic? The essay seeks to address the aforementioned questions by engaging with the thought of J.R.R. Tolkien. Moreover, it explores the relationship between the deepest desires of the human spirit and the Secondary World of Middle-earth, sub-created by the Oxford Professor.
