Book Description:
|
In education there is a common belief in the value of being there, doing it and seeing for oneself. Many teachers claim that they have learned most of what they know about teaching from classroom experience. In Detachment and Concern, the authors question the overriding value of first-hand experience and argue controversially that books and art can give better access to the real world and to the realm of the possible.
