How We Think

John Dewey

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

In "How We Think," John Dewey presents a profound exploration of the process of reflective thinking, which he delineates as a crucial component of effective learning and problem-solving. Dewey's literary style is characterized by clarity and accessibility, making complex philosophical concepts approachable for a broad audience. The text situates itself within the pragmatist tradition, challenging static notions of knowledge and emphasizing the dynamic interplay between thought and experience in an increasingly complex world. Through detailed analysis and practical examples, Dewey articulates methods for improving educational practices and enhancing critical and creative thinking skills. John Dewey (1859-1952) was a pivotal figure in American philosophy and education, known for his advocacy of experiential learning and democracy in education. His extensive career as a philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer provided him with insights into the deficiencies of traditional pedagogical methods, which inform the core arguments of this work. Dewey's dedication to fostering a more interactive and engaged learning environment illuminated the necessity for a paradigm shift in both educational practices and the cultivation of intellectual habits. "How We Think" is an essential read for educators, students, and anyone interested in the cognitive processes underlying effective learning. Dewey's insightful analysis not only enhances one's understanding of thinking as a skill but also serves as a manifesto for a more thoughtful and engaged society. This book is an invaluable resource for developing the reflective skills needed in both personal and professional contexts.

Queering Contemplation - Finding...

Cassidy Hall

The world of contemplative Christianity has yielded to the same voices for far too long, many of whom are from centuries before our time, with lives unlike our own, and often from experiences disconnected from marginalization, oppression, and what it feels like to be an outsider. 
 
 
 
Cassidy Hall, an LGBTQIA+ Christian contemplative scholar and podcast host, takes us on a journey to queer the contemplative tradition. 
 
 
 
As queerness reawakened her own contemplative life, Hall discovered that queering and questioning the tradition allowed her to listen more closely to voices that are queer, marginalized, and oppressed. In showing us the way, she helps us envision what contemplative faith can look like, what spiritual spaces we can reclaim for welcome—and how queering contemplation, and lifting up queer contemplative voices, frees us to seek the infinite possibility of our own identity and engage our spiritual lives with open hearts and open hands. 
 
 
 
Whether you're queer or want to queer your own perspectives, Hall throws open the doors of contemplative spirituality for all, bringing us to contemplation in very new, sometimes old, but always queer ways.

On this Holy Island - A Modern...

Oliver Smith

A lyrical and insightful narrative that presents a new approach to the idea of pilgrimage, traversing paths both ancient and modern. 
 
 
 
Retracing sacred travel made across time, from murmurs of ritual journeys in the depths of Ice Age to new pilgrimages of the twenty-first century, On This Holy Island is an an epic adventure across sacred British landscapes. We follow Oliver Smith as he climbs into remote sea caves, sleeps inside Neolithic tombs, scales forgotten holy mountains and once even marrons himself at sea. Following holy roads to churches, cathedrals and standing stones, this evocative and enlightening travelogue explores places prehistoric, pagan and Christian, Smith also reveals how football stadiums and music festivals have become contemporary places of pilgrimage. 
 
 
 
Though the routes walked are often ancient, the pilgrims he meets are always modern. But underpinning the remarkable book is a timeless truth: that making journeys has always been a way of making meaning. So often, Smith finds, "the unravelling of a path goes in tandem with the unravelling of the soul."
