She provides a simple but profound insight into the adverse causes and outcomes of early childhood and adolescent development, linking it to present-day adult ways of life.

The Lies That Bind Us - Nationalism And History Textbooks

de Ahsan I. Butt

~~22,08€~~ 17,66€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In The Lies That Bind Us, Ahsan I. Butt explores how history textbooks become battlegrounds of national belonging, borders, and memory. History education has always sparked fierce debate. Disagreements erupt not just over what to include but whose version to tell—how proud or shameful episodes are portrayed; who bears responsibility; and which voices are heard or silenced. These fights are typically domestic, but when a state's past involves international conflict, the stakes—and the critics—multiply. Butt delves into such flashpoints in his analysis of the politics of history textbooks. He first disaggregates national identity into three dimensions: boundaries of membership, space, and time. He then considers how each dimension is addressed in narratives of race and immigration across US history textbooks; territorial conflicts in Argentinean and Chilean textbooks; and finally, imperial legacies and independence struggles in Indian and Pakistani textbooks. As book bans and curriculum wars roil classrooms worldwide, The Lies That Bind Us exposes the varieties of nationalism driving textbook battles and how they shape not just which histories students learn but what kind of nation a country becomes.

This book supplies the answers, offering a bold new account of Dewey as an educational theorist who is essential for our troubled times.Revealing the true scope of Dewey's educational vision, this book provides a new perspective on a neglected aspect of the philosophical tradition. Growing People presents an alternative canon-running from Plato to Rousseau to Du Bois-that recasts philosophy in terms of education and, in so doing, opens new pathways for social critique and the liberation of human potential.

Actualitas: Philosophy-Art For The 21st Century

de Mike Gellerman

3,89€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Philosophy offers more than a momentary diversion; it provides valuable insights for gaining personal control and making important decisions. Imagine a lone leaf drifting in an autumn breeze, coasting on an updraft before floating to the ground, eventually broken down by the elements and recirculated into the soil. Embracing personal responsibility without scapegoats exemplifies the essence of carpe diem – seize the day. Throughout history, philosophy has grappled with the concept of fear, though modern times have seen this domain largely conceded to pseudosciences, often offering solutions through natural and synthetic drugs. Aristotle had much to say about fear: '…the things we fear are fearful and such things are, broadly speaking, evils: e.g. disgrace, poverty, sickness, friendlessness, death… Probably one ought not to fear poverty or disease, nor in general anything that is not… one's own fault…'
