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.
