Routledge Education and the Pursuit of Wisdom Book

Education and the Pursuit of Wisdom examines how the human search for wisdom relates to modern educational practices. This book from the Routledge International Studies in the Philosophy of Education series challenges the current trend of economically-driven systems that focus solely on preparing students for the workplace. Instead, it explores the importance of teaching wisdom to enrich every part of a student's life. Author Ozoli discusses how teaching young people to make sound decisions provides benefits for their everyday lives and for society as a whole. By drawing on religious and classical texts, such as Benedict, the text provides a deep look into the aims of education. This book is an important resource for those looking to understand the connection between classical wisdom and contemporary teaching methods.
