Instead of simply following the current neoliberal mantra of
proclaiming economic growth as the single most important factor for
maintaining well-being, Education and Schmid's Art of Living
revisits the idea of an education focused on personal development
and the well-being of human beings. Drawing on philosophical ideas
concerning the good life and recent research in positive
psychology, Teschers argues in favour of shifting the focus in
education and schooling towards a beautiful life and an art of
living for today's students. Containing a thorough discussion of
the ideas of contemporary German philosopher Wilhelm Schmid, this
book considers the possible implications of developing a more
humanistic and life-centred approach to educational policy,
research and practice, showing that Schmid's concept of Lebenskunst
provides a firm philosophical basis for this endeavour. Among
others, this book draws on analytical and continental traditions to
challenge current views and assumptions in regard to education and
the role of schooling for contemporary societies. As a result,
Teschers' work is sure to spark a debate about the direction of
educational policy and practice in the 21st century. Education and
Schmid's Art of Living is essential reading for academics and
students with an interest in education. Given the importance of
such topics as the relationship between education and society,
teacher education and how best to structure schools and learning
environments, Teschers' work will appeal to academics and students
in a diverse range of fields, including education, philosophy,
sociology and psychology.
