Caring Confrontations for Education and Democracy makes a
compelling case for redirecting current practices of education to
focus on being educated rather than having an education. The book
offers a detailed analysis of how an education for democracy must
encourage commitment to important ideals and strengthen the
vulnerabilities of people which make them easily manipulated by
politicians and the media. It addresses the need for education that
focusses on people's mode of being, so that in addition to becoming
knowledgeable and skilful, people develop the disposition that is
more appropriate for democratic living. Through embodying this
approach of authentic spiritual growth through education, this book
explores the idea of caring confrontations and critical reflection
to enable personal change and growth. Providing a thoughtful
analysis of the role of education in democracy, the book will be of
great interest to researchers, academics, and students in the
fields of philosophy of education, educational theory and
democratic education.
