Exemplifies a vision of education as cooperative inquiry in which heterogenous voices resound yet experiential authority in its full force operates. * -Journal of Philosophy of Education * Saito has written an important book with a remarkable educational implication: We should educate every individual to grow by recognizing their unique gleam of light in self-transcendent relation with others different from ourselves while recognizing the Over-Soul sustains us all. * -Teachers College Record * A provocative book that will be of value to all who care about Emerson, Dewey, and what they have to say about education. -- -David Hansen * Philosophy of Education Society *More details
