Reviews

While this is a book that can be read at a single sitting its deep philosophy of lived lives and what it is to be a human being requires ongoing reflection and pose some disturbing questions about the human condition that educators need to heed. It is a book that should have appeal beyond the confines of the university and should be used in courses of teacher education. (Michael A. Peters, New Zealand Journal of Educational Studies Volume 52, Issue 1/2017)
