Can we teach others how to lead a fulfilling life? The notion of
personal well-being has recently shot up the political and
educational agendas, placing the child's well-being at the heart of
the school's task. With his renowned talent for distilling the most
complex of philosophical arguments into accessible laymen's terms,
John White addresses the maze of issues surrounding well-being,
bringing clarity to this dissension and confusion. This accessible
book expertly guides you through the conflicting perspectives on
well-being found in the educational world by * Examining religious
and secular views of human fulfilment and of a meaningful life. *
Analysing the appeal of celebrity, wealth and consumerism to so
many of our children. * Asking what role pleasure, success,
autonomy, work, life-planning and worthwhile activities play in
children's flourishing. * Showing how proposals to encourage
children's well-being impact on schools' aims and learning
arrangements. Whether you have little background in education and
philosophy or are reading as a teacher, student or policy maker,
this engaging book will take you right to the heart of these
critical issues. It will leave you with a sharply-focused picture
of a remodelled educational system fit for our new millennium,
committed to helping every child to enjoy a fulfilling life.
