Beschreibung
The Good Life of Teaching extends the recent revival of virtue ethics to professional ethics and the philosophy of teaching. It connects long-standing philosophical questions about work and human growth to questions about teacher motivation, identity, and development. * Makes a significant contribution to the philosophy of teaching and also offers new insights into virtue theory and professional ethics * Offers fresh and detailed readings of major figures in ethics, including Alasdair MacIntyre, Charles Taylor, and Bernard Williams and the practical philosophies of Hannah Arendt, John Dewey and Hans-Georg Gadamer * Provides illustrations to assist the reader in visualizing major points, and integrates sources such as film, literature, and teaching memoirs to exemplify arguments in an engaging and accessible way * Presents a compelling vision of teaching as a reflective practice showing how this requires us to prepare teachers differently
Rezensionen
"The question of the ethical life of the teacher is as old as philosophy; but in the contemporary world this has been transformed into a question of professional ethics. In The Good Life of Teaching, Chris Higgins brings this newer question of professionalism back to its philosophical roots. Anyone who experiences teaching as a vocation - in the sense of a calling - but also wants to participate in the vocation of teaching - in the sense of a profession - will want to read this book."
--Jonathan Lear, The University of Chicago
'This is an exemplary book in philosophy of education. It combines intellectual rigour, ethical seriousness and imaginative verve in a finely pitched exploration of the nature of teaching. Philosophers will applaud how its argument for the pertinence to education of a wisely chosen group of key thinkers creatively extends our understanding of their work. More important, teachers will be deeply confirmed or transformed by its sane vision of what can make their work both noble and sustainable.'
--Joseph Dunne, Cregan Professor Emeritus in philosophy of education, Dublin City University
