Omschrijving
This book concerns the pursuit of wisdom in education, and the argument that wisdom – personified here as Sophia – is tragically marginalised or absent in current Western epistemological discourses.
“This really is the call of wise adult educators—to unflinchingly and critically examine the rising populism in the world and its deeply disturbing impact on all aspects of our lives and to also illuminate ‘ways to revivify adult teaching and learning processes which encourage communal, as well as individual rejoinders to the problems that we face’ … .” (Elizabeth Tingle and Janet Groen, Adult Education Quarterly, November 19, 2019)
“This book, however, provides more than an account of wisdom, it is the practice of wisdom in the writing. Indeed, Fraser has succeeded in creating an artefact through which the reader can explore their own ‘unknowing’, that is, the relation between something that might be ‘out there’ and their own understanding.” (James Reid, Studies in the Education of Adults, July, 2018)
