Abstract
Clarifying the nature of the philosophy of education, this paper offers a critical overview of Wittgenstein’s impact on the field. The focus is then narrowed to give attention to Wittgenstein’s claim that “Nothing is hidden” (Philosophical Investigations, #435) in relation to current concerns with transparency. The discussion extends and challenges familiar readings of this passage, making connections with Wittgenstein’s late writings on psychology. Imagination and pretence are, thus, shown to be essential to the development of mind and world, from the child’s first entry into language. This reaffirms the significance of the humanities, suggesting particular importance for drama and film.
