{"product_id":"flourishing-as-the-aim-of-education-hardback","title":"Flourishing as the Aim of Education - Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book develops a conception of student flourishing as the overarching aim of education. Taking as its basis the Aristotelian concept of \u003ci\u003eeudaimonia\u003c\/i\u003e, it provides a theoretical study of the foundations of flourishing that goes well beyond Aristotle’s approach. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlourishing as the Aim of Education argues that the ‘good life’ of the student, to which education should contribute, must involve engagement with self-transcendent ideals and ignite awe-filled enchantment. It allows for social, individual and educational variance within the concept of flourishing, and it engages with a host of socio-political as well as ‘spiritual’ issues that are often overlooked in literature discussing character education. Each chapter closes with food for thought for practitioners who can directly facilitate student flourishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn outgrowth of the author’s previous monograph \u003ci\u003eAristotelian Character Education\u003c\/i\u003e, this book follows new directions in questioning how to educate young people towards a life of overall flourishing. It will be of great interest to researchers, academics and post-graduate students in the fields of character education, moral education and moral philosophy, as well as to educators and policy-makers. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45575242252526,"sku":"9781138612938","price":227.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781138612938.jpg?v=1720946647","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/flourishing-as-the-aim-of-education-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
