چکیده
این پژوهش با روش تحلیلی-استنتاجی، مفهوم عاملیت انتقادی-استعلایی روی باسکار را در چارچوب رئالیسم انتقادی بررسی کرده و دلالت های تربیتی آن را استخراج می کند. باسکار عاملیت انسانی را قصدمند، واقعی و مبتنی بر کنش در تعامل با ساختارهای اجتماعی می داند که عاملان از طریق آن، این ساختارها را بازتولید یا دگرگون می کنند. منظومه فکری او، با تکیه بر هستی شناسی لایه مند، انسان را در چهار سطح وجودی (طبیعت مادی، ساختار اجتماعی، مردم، و شخصیت تجسم یافته) تحلیل می کند و با رویکرد دیالکتیکی (شامل نااین همانی، غیاب، کلیت رابطه ای، عاملیت، و آگاهی بازتابی)، شرایط امکان رهایی و خود-تحقق بخشی را تبیین می کند. برخلاف دیدگاه های مدرنیته که انسان را به سوژه ای منفعل یا عقلانیت ابزاری تقلیل می دهند، باسکار بر ظرفیت انسان برای نقد سلطه و دستیابی به جامعه سعادتمند تأکید دارد. در مقایسه با نظریه های عاملیت-ساختار، مانند ساخت یابی گیدنز، هابیتوس بوردیو، و مرفوژنز آرچر، نظریه باسکار با افزودن ابعاد هستی شناختی و اخلاقی، چارچوبی عمیق تر برای فهم عاملیت ارائه می دهد. دلالت های تربیتی این نظریه شامل اهداف (روشنگری و خود-تحقق بخشی جهانی)، اصول (برانگیختن عاملیت قصدمندانه، پرورش عاملیت انتقادی، شناخت چندلایه ای، عدالت و رهایی بخشی، و شهود خلاق)، و روش ها (شهود خلاقانه و نقد تبیینی) است. آموزش در این دیدگاه، فرایندی دیالکتیکی برای توانمندسازی دانش آموزان به عنوان کنش گرانی خلاق و آگاه است که در بازسازی ساختارهای اجتماعی مشارکت می کنند. با این حال، چالش هایی نظیر تبیین اخلاق فرافرهنگی و توازن میان عاملیت فردی و انسجام اجتماعی، نیازمند توسعه نظریه است. این مطالعه، با تحلیل منظومه فکری باسکار، زمینه ای برای بازاندیشی در فلسفه تربیت فراهم می آورد.Roy Bhaskar's Critical-Transcendental Agency and Its Implications for Education
This study employs an analytical-deductive methodology to critically examine Roy Bhaskar’s concept of critical-transcendental human agency and to articulate its implications for education. Bhaskar conceptualizes human agency as intentional, ontologically real, and inherently connected to the notion of action. Agents, utilizing their innate capacities, act both individually and collectively within pre-existing social structures, which they simultaneously reproduce and transform. Rooted in an ontological inquiry into human existence, this approach investigates the conditions of possibility for agency through transcendental analysis, identifying a common human core composed of four interrelated strata: material nature, social structure, interpersonal relations, and embodied personality. Drawing on the emancipatory foundations of critical theory, Bhaskar highlights human agency’s capacity to interpret and transform a world characterized by persistent crises across these four levels. His framework emphasizes human potential not only in terms of individual self-realization and latent capability actualization but also in the pursuit of a eudaimonic society and collective liberation. Education is integral to the cultivation of human agency. Bhaskar’s critical-transcendental perspective offers profound implications for educational aims, principles, and methodologies. Concerning educational aims, it advocates for enlightenment and global self-realization. Concerning educational principles, it underscores the importance of fostering intentional agency through dynamic engagement with learning environments, promoting critical consciousness and self-awareness, nurturing multi-layered cognition, advancing justice and emancipation, and cultivating intuition and creativity within the pedagogical relationship. Regarding educational methodologies, it encourages the integration of creative intuition and explanatory critique as central strategies. Keywords: human agency, critical-transcendental agency, Bhaskar, education Synopsis This research employs an analytical-deductive methodology to thoroughly examine Roy Bhaskar’s critical-transcendental conception of human agency, situating it within both philosophical and socio-educational discourses. Bhaskar’s framework presents human agency as an intentional, real, and dynamic force, intrinsically linked to action and embedded within pre-existing social structures. Unlike deterministic or purely voluntarist theories, his approach acknowledges that agents operate within structural constraints while simultaneously possessing the capacity to reproduce, modify, or even radically transform these structures. This dialectical relationship between agency and structure is central to Bhaskar’s critical realism, which seeks to reconcile the ontological reality of social systems with the transformative potential of human action. Through transcendental analysis—a method that investigates the necessary conditions for phenomena to exist—Bhaskar identifies a multi-layered human ontology consisting of four interdependent dimensions: material nature, social structure, interpersonal relations, and the inner embodied personality. By integrating insights from critical theory, Bhaskar emphasizes the emancipatory potential of human agency, arguing that individuals and collectives can interpret, critique, and ultimately reshape a world marked by persistent crises across these four levels. His focus extends beyond mere individual self-actualization to encompass collective liberation, envisioning a eudaimonistic society where human flourishing is realized through both personal development and structural transformation. This perspective challenges reductionist views of agency, instead presenting it as a complex, emergent phenomenon that operates within and upon historically constituted social realities. The educational implications of Bhaskar’s theory are profound, offering a robust framework for rethinking pedagogical goals, principles, and methodologies. At the level of educational objectives, his approach advocates for a dual emphasis on enlightenment—understood as critical consciousness—and global self-realization, wherein learners develop not only their cognitive and creative capacities but also their ethical and social agency. Such an education transcends mere knowledge transmission, aiming instead to cultivate individuals who can navigate, question, and transform oppressive structures. In terms of pedagogical principles, Bhaskar’s model underscores the importance of fostering intentional agency through dialogical and participatory learning environments, where students actively engage with knowledge rather than passively receive it. This involves nurturing critical agency—helping learners recognize and challenge ideological and structural constraints—while simultaneously promoting deep self-awareness and reflexivity. Additionally, education must facilitate multi-layered cognition, enabling students to understand the interplay between material conditions, social institutions, interpersonal dynamics, and personal identity. A justice-oriented approach is also essential, as Bhaskar’s framework insists on education as a means of advancing liberation, equity, and collective well-being. Furthermore, his theory highlights the role of intuition and creativity in the learning process, advocating for pedagogies that value imaginative exploration alongside rational critique. Methodologically, this translates into employing creative intuition—allowing learners to generate novel insights and solutions—and explanatory critique, a tool for uncovering and dismantling hidden mechanisms of domination within social and educational systems. The teacher-student relationship, within this framework, becomes a collaborative and transformative space, where authority is not imposed but co-constructed through mutual inquiry. Conclusion Ultimately, Bhaskar’s critical-transcendental perspective positions education as a vital force for both individual empowerment and societal transformation, bridging the gap between personal growth and structural change in the pursuit of a more just and emancipated world. This research has demonstrated that by understanding human agency as intentional, ontologically real, and embedded within dynamic social structures, educational practices can be re-envisioned to cultivate critical consciousness, foster multi-layered cognition, and promote collective liberation. The implications extend to fostering intentional agency through dynamic learning environments, nurturing self-awareness, advancing justice, and integrating creative intuition and explanatory critique into pedagogical methodologies. By adopting Bhaskar's framework, educators can move beyond traditional models of knowledge transmission to create spaces where learners actively engage in interpreting, critiquing, and transforming their world. This comprehensive approach to education, rooted in a profound understanding of human agency, promises to empower individuals to not only realize their full potential but also to contribute actively to the creation of a more equitable and flourishing society.
