Synopsis

In "The Meaning of Truth," William James explores the complex relationship between truth and belief within the framework of pragmatism, a philosophical movement he significantly shaped. Richly interwoven with nuanced argumentation, the text delves into the practicality of truth, advocating that beliefs must be evaluated through their tangible effects in real life. James's literary style is marked by accessible language coupled with profound philosophical insights, allowing readers to engage with the intricate interplay between human experience and the concepts of truth and reality, especially against the backdrop of 19th-century philosophical debates. William James, a prominent figure in psychology and philosophy, provides a vital context for understanding this work through his background in both disciplines. His interdisciplinary approach reflects a commitment to bridging the gap between abstract thought and lived experience, fostering a dialogue that resonates with the individual'Äôs subjective reality. Having wrestled with existential doubts and the challenges of modernity, James's perspectives offer a refreshing lens through which to contemplate the nature of truth in a rapidly evolving world. This compelling examination is essential for anyone seeking to grasp the nuances of pragmatism and its implications on personal and collective belief systems. "The Meaning of Truth" invites readers to reflect on their own understanding of truth while challenging them to consider the impact of their beliefs on their actions and the broader society.

    Love. Love now. Love always. Time and lives are wasting. 
     
    All of the humans in schools—kids and adults—deserve joy. Yet, our experiences in schools, and the experiences of our students, are often far from joyful.  
     
    Humans Who Teach invites readers to explore the complicated humanity of those who teach, with a focus on how we have been socialized to accept the status quo, our very real fears in disrupting the status quo, and how we can rely on our human capacity to love to engage in teaching for social justice even in the presence of fear. 
     
    “In a sea of voices seeking to continue the deprofessionalization and dehumanization of teachers, Humans Who Teach powerfully speaks back to these voices and reminds educators that, first and foremost, they are human. And within their humanity lie transformative possibilities for cultivating lives and classrooms characterized by love.” — from the foreword by Drs. Bettina L. Love, Gholdy Muhammad, and Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz

    “I don’t want to gp. I just can’t do it anymore.” "My stomach hurts, and I'm afraid of throwing up." "It sucks. What’s the point.” "I'm tired. I need a break. "I'm just fine where I am, in my room."
    Since the health crisis, Thierry Delcourt has observed a considerable increase in children who cannot or no longer want to go to school, not only for problems of violence, racketeering and bullying, but rather for much more troubling reasons—hostility, laziness, convenience or opportunism. According to the author, who has cross-checked data from National Education and the CNED, absenteeism at school has increased by 10% over the last 3 years. 
    This book aims to enlighten anxious parents, disoriented teachers, and psychologists who are overwhelmed by these situations, and to provide an approach to understand and overcome these obstacles that lead to school dropout and, in the long run, to school failure. Each chapter refers to a particular situation, analyzes the reason for it and then offers advice on how to combat this scourge.
