First published in 1991, In Praise of Cognitive Emotions comprises
fourteen of Scheffler's most recent essays - all of which challenge
contemporary notions of education and rationality. While defending
the ideal of rationality, he insists that rationality not be
identified with a mental faculty or a mechanism of inference but
taken rather as the capactity to grasp principles and purposes and
to evaluate them in the light of relevant reasons. Examining a
broad range of issues - from computers in school to math education,
from metaphor to morality - these essays are unified by Scheffler's
conviction of the primacy of critical thought in education.
Scheffler is especially concerned to promote a broad interpretation
of rationality to counteract the narrowing of vision accompanying
the technological revolution now sweeping education. Addressing
three specific areas of curriculum, the work offers a critique of
computer applications to education, develops a notion of strategic
rationality in understanding mathematical reasoning, and, contrary
to prevalent notions of moral education, connects reason with care,
thus emphasizing the intimate connection between emotion and reason
and challenging the dominant perception of the two as oppositional.
