Spirituality, Philosophy and Education

Editat de David Carr, John Haldane
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 apr 2014
The possibilities and importance of a spiritual dimension to education are subjects receiving increased consideration from educational practitioners, policymakers and philosophers. Spirituality, Philosophy and Education brings together contributions to the debate by a team of renowned philosophers of education. They bring to this subject a depth of scholarly and philosophical sophistication that was previously missing, and between them offer a wide-ranging exploration and analysis of what spiritual values have to offer contemporary education.
The contributors address such subjects as what we mean by 'spiritual values'; scholarship and spirituality; spirituality and virtue; spirituality, science and morality; the shaping of character; the value of spiritual learning; spiritual development and the curriculum and many others. All students of the philosophy of education and anyone interested in how spiritual values might play a part in informing education policy and practice will find this stimulating collection a rich source of ideas and a major addition to the thinking on the meaning, role and possibilities of spirituality in education.

Recenzii

'It ought to grace college libraries if spirituality is to become more securely based in schools.' Times Educational Supplement (Book of the week)
'There is renewed interest in spirituality and philosophical analysis in Educational Studies as a reaction against the dominance of market values and of 'technical' studies of school effectiveness and improvement, at the same time there is a relative shortage of quality texts on this subject. This proposed book will make a sophisticated contribution to the field.' - Gerald Grace, Institute of Education, University of London
'This important book forms a symphony of approaches to spirituality and education, and benefits from the multiplicity of views ... it can be read with much profit by anyone seriously interested in the nature and shortcomings of contemporary sprituality.' - The Scientific and Medical Network
'The essays are wide-ranging, scholarly and thought-provoking... This book adds substantially to the stock of academic knowledge about spirituality.' - Cheryl Hunt, Adults Learning
'The editors provide an excellent summary of the contents and no shorter statement is going to do justice to the breadth and richness of the material to be found here.'
'I was much engaged by the ideas presented here...Overall, I consider my horizons to have been widened in many ways by reading this book...It is a book which celebrates the phiosophical project and illuminates a shadowy, but crucial, aspect of education.' 
both -Rob Best, British Journal of Educational Studies, June 2005
 
 

'This book offers a welcomed contribution to seriously exploring spirituality...It offers some grounding in many perspectives, and provides a rich collection of references for further research.' - International Journal of Children's Spirituality
