Mills, Jon 2002 Brill Book Archive Part 1, ISBN: 9789004472495 , Vol. 116 ( Serie ) Leiden; Boston : BRILL 9789004458635 | 9789042015074 | BRILL9789004458635 AbstractThis book advocates a return to the spirit of the Greek notion of paideia, emphasizing a pedagogy of becoming. The authors offer a holistic approach to education that aspires toward the inclusion, promotion, and nurturance of virtue and valuation. Topics range from the purely conceptual to applied methodology. Several key issues and contemporary trends in education are addressed philosophically, including the values of wisdom, morality, compassion, empathy, interdependence, authenticity, and self-understanding.
