Public Philosophy
Education for Becoming Human
A series on children, learning, judgment, attention, reading, language, failure, and discipline.
About the Series
Education for Becoming Human treats education as more than performance, advantage, or preparation for tests. It asks how children become persons capable of attention, judgment, language, reading, discipline, freedom, and bearing failure. The series is written for parents, teachers, and readers who sense that education cannot be reduced to efficiency. Each book examines one formative capacity and asks what must be protected when answers become cheap and pressure becomes constant.
