Khen Lampert (born 1957) is an educator and a philosopher who teaches Philosophy, History, Cultural Studies and Education.〔(Author: Khen Lampert )〕 He has extensive experience working with children in underprivileged neighborhoods in Israel, both Jewish and Arab. Lampert is an important contributor to philosophy-of-culture and education.〔 http://www.text.org.il/index.php?book=0804084〕 His work draws from a wide range of theoretical traditions extending from Marx to Paulo Freire; from Buddhism to modern-Christianity; from Herbert Marcuse to Heinz Kohut. He is an advocate of radical-non-violent social-activism vigorously opposing neoliberalism (which he terms as ‘neocapitalism’),〔Lampert, K., Compassionate Education: Prolegomena for Radical Schooling , University-Press of Amer., 2003; ISBN 978-0-7618-2641-5; pp 73-92〕 militarism, fundamentalism, and the post-modern attacks against the Welfare state, the youth and the poor. Lampert's important work focuses on the ‘Theory of Radical Compassion’, a term he coined to describe the nature of an alternative socio-educational reality. According to Lampert, a conception of radical compassion, based on the imperative to change reality, is not only necessary, but possible, as radical compassion is rooted deep in our human nature and is not mediated by culture.〔Lampert K., Traditions of Compassion: From Religious Duty to Social Activism, Palgrave-Macmillan, 2006; ISBN 978-1-4039-8527-9; pp 150-175〕 ==Biography== Khen Lampert was born in 1957, in Tel-Aviv, after his parents left a Kibbutz. Since 1980, after graduating from high school and military service, Lampert began working with at-risk children and teens. He has worked as an instructor, teacher, lecturer, counselor and director, in various frameworks straddling education and welfare. In 1999, Lampert has founded (along with his work-colleague Gady Avidan), a social-support-network for underprivileged children which attempts to create real change in the lives of children (Jewish and Arab), from exclusion to social inclusion, in various locations in Israel. The network is working to combat the plight of children through "generative mentoring", i.e., a unique model of creating change through an adult-child interaction. The generative-mentoring model relies on the social theory and epistemology proposed in Lampert's writings. Lampert completed his PH.D in philosophy and comparative study of Cultures at Tel Aviv University in 1997. He is a popular lecturer at the Academy, and publishes important academic books on critical-pedagogy, comparative analysis of religion and ethics. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Khen Lampert」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
