Reviews

'A hugely important and timely book, Ethical Education, not only exposes and challenges the widespread contemporary betrayal of education, it also offers inspiring alternatives that return us to the enabling conditions and lived practicalities of human flourishing. The elegance and depth of its intellectual analysis is matched by the richness and range of its grounded cases studies. A must-read for all who wish to deepen their understanding of our present malaise and work for life-affirming, truly educational alternatives.'
