This book develops a conception of student flourishing as the
overarching aim of education. Taking as its basis the Aristotelian
concept of eudaimonia, it provides a theoretical study of the
foundations of flourishing that goes well beyond Aristotle's
approach. Flourishing as the Aim of Education argues that the 'good
life' of the student, to which education should contribute, must
involve engagement with self-transcendent ideals and ignite
awe-filled enchantment. It allows for social, individual and
educational variance within the concept of flourishing, and it
engages with a host of socio-political as well as 'spiritual'
issues that are often overlooked in literature discussing character
education. Each chapter closes with food for thought for
practitioners who can directly facilitate student flourishing. An
outgrowth of the author's previous monograph Aristotelian Character
Education, this book follows new directions in questioning how to
educate young people towards a life of overall flourishing. It will
be of great interest to researchers, academics and post-graduate
students in the fields of character education, moral education and
moral philosophy, as well as to educators and policy-makers.
