Reviews
Dahlbeck in this book applies the philosophical naturalism and determinism of Spinoza's philosophy -positions that are receiving more and more evidentiary support from the new brain sciences-to the field of education and moral education. He offers in this book a Spinoza-inspired theory of ethics and moral transformation and autonomy emergent from a determinist naturalism; 2. A model of ethics, moral transformation, and autonomy that is both rational and scientifically up-to-date; and 3. The application of that model to the entire field of education. This book should be widely read by Spinoza scholars, philosophers of education, educators of all kinds, and schools of education should implement the proposed model as a new model of education and moral education. It ought to be of crucial importance to the systemic rethinking of the purpose and process of education. It has the widest possible importance and applicability. Heidi Ravven, Ph.D., Bates & Benjamin Professor of Classical & Religious Studies and Professor of Jewish Philosophy, Chair, Department of Religious Studies, Hamilton College. J. Dahlbeck gives us material for reflection enabling a better understanding of the common sense that nourishes the philosophy of education. - Archives de Philosophie, cahier 2019/4, tome 82
