This book explores how contemporary educational research and
curriculum occlude the vital and enduring relationship between
education and well-being. Beginning with the consequences of the
reductive tendencies of educational research and moving through the
consequences of the technical and instrumental tendencies of
curriculum, this book challenges how contemporary education as a
whole reduces human beings to "things" and funnels them according
to predetermined knowledge forms representative of the dominant
socioeconomic ideology. Through a philosophical exploration of
original conceptions of education and well-being, this book
attempts to recover an understanding of education that embodies how
we learn to uncover and relate to our own possibilities for a more
meaningful life which is a life of well-being.
