Windhorst compares the ideas of John Dewey and Simone Weil on wisdom in an attempt to examine their understanding of wisdom and consider how one might educate students to 'love' it. Windhorst provides a wide-ranging and in-depth discussion of Weil's views drawing from her writings on education and attention as well as from her religious, political and philosophical thought. |
