Taking as its basis the Aristotelian concept of \u003ci\u003eeudaimonia\u003c\/i\u003e, it provides a theoretical study of the foundations of flourishing that goes well beyond Aristotle's approach. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlourishing as the Aim of Education argues that the 'good life' of the student, to which education should contribute, must involve engagement with self-transcendent ideals and ignite awe-filled enchantment. It allows for social, individual and educational variance within the concept of flourishing, and it engages with a host of socio-political as well as 'spiritual' issues that are often overlooked in literature discussing character education. Each chapter closes with food for thought for practitioners who can directly facilitate student flourishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn outgrowth of the author's previous monograph \u003ci\u003eAristotelian Character Education\u003c\/i\u003e, this book follows new directions in questioning how to educate young people towards a life of overall flourishing. It will be of great interest to researchers, academics and post-graduate students in the fields of character education, moral education and moral philosophy, as well as to educators and policy-makers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kristján Kristjánsson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138612936\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138612938\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 0.70d","brand":"Kristján Kristjánsson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087752933631,"sku":"9781138612938","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_efb9d823-ad83-4df5-9683-92196349c1ff.jpg?v=1769101202","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flourishing-as-the-aim-of-kristjzan-kristjzansson-9781138612938","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
