Originally published in 1990, educational debate in the western
world was dominated by pragmatic, utilitarian values. The
prevailing assumption was that education should be geared towards
fitting people into the world of work. Dudley Plunkett broke new
ground in this debate by seeking to reconcile secular and spiritual
values in educational policy and practice. Secular and Spiritual
Values presents a critique of the influence of enterprise culture
on education. It argues that the resurgence of interest in the
spiritual today represents a return to an essential aspect of human
nature, and maintains that the spiritual perspective can provide a
context for the regeneration of values in education. It indicates a
way forward which, while not denying pragmatism, rationalism or
holistic values, calls for openness to a spiritual reality that is
seen as primary. It also assesses the practical implications and
priorities for action if education is to contribute to the
exploration of the spiritual as well as the intellectual and
emotional dimensions of human experience. This book has grown out
of the author's twenty-five years' experience in educational
studies, and from his particular preoccupation with values in
education. It should still be of interest to those concerned with
the nature and purpose of education: teachers, parents, educational
policy-makers and administrators and academics in the field.
