Marcus Ford and Stephen Rowe, Editors
Interdisciplinary, Experiential, and Relational Learning
The new form of civilization we so urgently need will require new ways of thinking and relating —ones that are more socially responsible, ecological, “mindful,” and coherent—and new ways of educating ourselves. The essays in this volume describe features of an emerging, relational vision of civilization and some of the educational practices it suggests.
Note: The title of this book was previously announced as From Liberation to Civilization.
