Nurturing Our Wholeness Perspectives on Spirituality in Education
Jack Miller and Yoshiharu Nakagawa, editors
Full electronic book on CD-ROM $14.95
Among the contributors to this volume are David Purpel (The Moral and Spiritual Crisis in Education) writing in his distinctly passionate style on the prophetic tradition; Rachael Kessler (The Soul of Education) on Eros and the Shadow; Ron Miller (What Are Schools For?) on Quaker education; and Jeffrey Kane (editor of Encounter) on the Waldorf school approach. The collection also considers the ideas of Thomas Merton, Martin Buber, Aldous Huxley, Krishnamurti, Rabindranath Tagore, Aurobindo, J. G. Bennett, and the American Transcendentalists, as well as Buddhist, Taoist, and Tantric traditions. While these views represent a great span of time, belief, and geography, there are common core themes underlying their messages, themes relevant to the theory and practice of education in our culture today. Nurturing Our Wholeness aims to recover profound sources of insight and wisdom that have been lost in modernist schooling.
