Anna Strelis Serquist uncovers Kierkegaard's method of \"indirect communication\" as a formative and dialogical approach to education that guides a person in becoming not only free and independent, but also receptive and empathetic. This approach bestows upon a human being the dignity that comes from being both capable and humble. It emphasizes the need for trust and courage alike in our dialogical relations, freeing us to receive and respond to the other both in our need and through our own choosing. Freedom's secret is that it is at the same time self-empowered and vulnerable, self-giving and receptive, independent and dependent. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKierkegaard's method, in both form and content, hinges upon the narrativity of human experience. No human being is immune to the seductive force of stories. Kierkegaard recognizes the power of a story to captivate and to change us, to empower and to humble us, and he makes use of them as formative teachers with whom we enter into dialogue. Through its examination of indirect formation in Kierkegaard through poetry and storytelling, Kierkegaard on Dialogical Education explores the reaches and limits of narrative imagination and inquires into the dialogical and narrative struggle inherent in the formation of identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book will be of interest to philosophers and educators, as well as those who meet at the crossroads of philosophy, education, and art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Strelis Soderquist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498533779\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498533775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Anna Strelis Soderquist","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44064890355967,"sku":"9781498533775","price":98.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3aa226e7-340b-4a27-b4b2-92c9b0493285.jpg?v=1685398183","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kierkegaard-on-dialogical-education-anna-strelis-soderquist-9781498533775","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
