Summary "Education is not an art of putting sight into the eye that can already see, but one of turning the eye towards the proper gaze of Being. That's what must be managed!" Plato insists. This claim is the take-off point for Eduardo Duarte's meditations on the metaphysics and ontology of teaching and learning. In Being and Learning he offers an account of learning as an attunement with Being's dynamic presencing and unconcealment, which Duarte explores as the capacity to respond and attend to the matter that stands before us, or, in Arendtian terms, to love the world, and to be with others in this world
