Opis

Two of our greatest educational theorists, John Dewey and Nel Noddings, have been reluctant to admit that some students are simply more talented than others. This book explains how that admission is compatible with our ideals of caring (and democracy).

Recenzje

'Education and Human Values is worth reading by those interested in the ethics of care or the philosophy of education, and might be assigned in classes on those topics. It may also have value to those interested in moral sentimentalism in general. [These groups] should take the time to read it and consider its arguments.' – Alexander Jech, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA in Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
