Education and the Pursuit of Wisdom The Aims of Education Revisited Routledge International Studies in the Philosophy of Education Series

Couverture de l’ouvrage Education and the Pursuit of Wisdom

Education and the Pursuit of Wisdom examines the ways in which the timeless human search for wisdom relates to current educational practices. This book challenges the current approach of an economically-driven system preparing students solely for the workplace, and instead discusses the importance of teaching wisdom in order to enrich all aspects of the lives of students. Ozoli?š discusses how teaching young people how to make decisions will not only benefit them in everyday life, but will benefit society as a whole.

Drawing on religious and classical texts such as Benedictine and Confucian works, Ozoli?š? book assesses and re-evaluates the central aim of education, and moves toward developing a robust understanding of the value of wisdom and its implications. Alternative approaches to education and the ways in which educators can establish agency in this process are also carefully considered.

Detailed, well-researched, and with an international scope, Education and the Pursuit of Wisdom is an ideal reference work for researchers, lecturers and postgraduate students of education, and in particular the philosophy of education and the concept of wisdom.
