Robert D. Kahn

Co-editor of R. Buckminster Fuller on Education (University of Massachusetts Press, 1979).

Robert D. Kahn was, with Peter H. Wagschal, a co-editor associated with the University of Massachusetts who undertook the project of gathering, editing, and publishing Fuller's scattered writings and lectures on learning into a single volume. Beyond this editorial work, he is not otherwise prominently documented in this corpus. (He is not to be confused with Robert E. Kahn, the internet TCP/IP pioneer.)

Relationship to Fuller

Relationship: chronicler. Kahn's tie to R. Buckminster Fuller is as an editor and curator of Fuller's thought rather than a personal associate. Together with Peter H. Wagschal, he assembled pieces written across roughly two decades into R. Buckminster Fuller on Education (1979), an anthology framed around Fuller's claims that children are born comprehensively competent, that conventional schooling deforms them, and that emerging communications technology could transform education. In shaping and publishing that record, Kahn helped fix and transmit Fuller's educational philosophy for later readers.
