Opis

Education and the Pursuit of Wisdom examines the ways in which the timeless human search for wisdom relates to current educational practices. It challenges the current approach of an economically-driven system preparing students for the workplace, and instead discusses the importance of teaching wisdom in order to enrich  the lives of students.
