Abstract	Arendt-inspired philosophy of education has been a lively field of research in recent years. This research is mostly based on Arendt's essay 'The Crisis in Education'. In the same historical context, Arendt wrote her initial essay on education, the controversial 'Reflections on Little Rock', and her political-theoretical work "The Human Condition." All three texts show Arendt's concern about the public realm and its capture by 'society', which she understands as discarding the distinction between private and public. This raises the question of where education should be located in Arendt's thought: in the private realm, in society or in the public realm? In her 'Reflections' Arendt places education in the societal realm, but this approach fails to convince. The answer consistent with Arendt's use of the category of the 'in-between' in her educational thought is that it is in none of the above. Instead, education takes place in an ambiguous zone in between private and public, where both make their influence felt, but neither dominates the other. This has implications not only for how we should understand Arendt's educational philosophy but also for her notions of private and public spheres as well as for other political-theoretical concepts in her work. This answers the question about the location of education in a second way: education in Arendt's thought is not simply derivative of her political works but can itself serve as an interesting perspective from which to view her writings.
