This is a wonderful collection of essays that brings philosophical texts and, not least, philosophical ways of thinking into fruitful dialogue with experiences of professional practice. Through its emphasis on issues such as wonder, calling, silence, and particularity, it moves beyond a simple eschewal of the tyranny of the logic of measurement, and calls for a renewed attentiveness to the quiet spaces and encounters in which the world and others more genuinely address us. -- James McGuirk, VID Specialized University and Nord University With equal measures of poetic thinking and critical scholarship, this volume truly rehumanizes and revitalizes the realms of health, education and welfare and show why they are not only important social and cultural pillars in our societies - but how they form a deeper ground for human belonging, wonder, and love. -- Soren Bengtsen
