On the Pedagogy of Suffering: Hermeneutic and Buddhist Meditations
ISBN: 9781433125249 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

In our understandable rush to ameliorate suffering at every turn and to consider every instance of it as an error to be avoided at all costs, we explore how the pedagogy that can come from suffering becomes obscured and something vital to a rich and vibrant pedagogy can be lost. This collection threads through...
