Peace, Value, and Wisdom: The Educational Philosophy of Daisaku Ikeda: Value Inquiry Book Series / Daisaku Ikeda Studies, cartea 122

Autor George David Miller
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2001
This book introduces readers to the Buddhist-based philosophy of education of Daisaku Ikeda. Ikeda's philosophy of education offers human revolution, value creation, and dialogue as counterweights to the violence lurking in today's classrooms. Where education becomes wisdom-based, it transforms learners into keen assessors of their inner lives and establishes a foundation for global citizenship.
