Moral Philosophy and Moral Education

Philosophy

“This beautifully written book provides a timely reminder of the value of humanistic education in a world fragmented by reductive theories and politicized thinking. Its tone is uplifting and redemptive of human experience, linking the classical concepts of education, self-knowledge, and moral goodness in the writings of Vico, Hegel, Dewey, and especially Cassirer, and finding in the philosophy of culture the key to human freedom. The narrative moves effortlessly through these difficult texts, not to preach but to place the ideas they contain in conversation with the reader.”
