Book synopsis

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 and stamps 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. §
