- Routledge International Studies in the Philosophy of Education: Education, Autonomy and Democratic Citizenship : Philosophy in a Changing World (1997, Hardcover) DOC read ebook
9780415153348 0415153344 Across the globe educators are being required to respond to a changing political environment. New nations emerge out of the collapse of old empires; new democracies struggle out of old structures of oppression. Driven on by the fierce competitiveness of the tiger economies of the east, old social welfare-based democracies are transformed into new market driven enterprise societies. The essays in this collection are a response from 22 educators to these changes and to the reassessment that they provoke of some of the fundamental principles which shape educational thought and practice. They focus in particular on key clusters of issues to do with the role of education in cultivating: national identity - what role might nationalistic education play in the context of a democratic liberal education?; market principles - contributors offer different perspectives on the internationally pervasive application of the principles of the market economy to education and the consequent commodification of learning; personal autonomy - educators examine different dimentions of the contested notion of autonomy itself and the related discourses of edification., Falling in love is the last thing on his busy agenda…but compromising positions can lead just about anywhere.David Strong knows how to do a lot of things-run an international fitness company, finesse stock portfolios and stay out of emotional entanglements. That is, until he gets tangled up with Sophie Delfino and her Sensational Sex workout. He's supposed to help her demonstrate Kama Sutra positions for her couples' yoga class. The rigorous postures require more than just physical control. And his co-instructor unexpectedly tests his control to the limit.Sophie's been fantasizing about David since her teens, but she never dreamed she'd actually be expected to run through her intimate desires-with an audience! The class is very professional, tame even-or it would be, if she'd been in any of the positions before. But she hasn't-except in her wildest fantasies about David. Sophie knows she wants David in every way, and she's flexible enough to use whatever she has to get him.David can't afford any unexpected distractions. Besides the sensual positions he has to endure without embarrassing himself in public, there's an embezzler stealing from his company. And then there's Sophie-who is well on her way to stealing his well-guarded heart.Warning: This is one exercise program you won't need to consult your doctor before beginning…unless he's hot and available for house calls. The Kama Sutra isn't for the prudish or faint of heart, and neither is this story., First Published in 2004. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company., This international collection forms a response from 22 educators to our changing political environment and to the reassessment they provoke of the principles shaping educational thought and practice. The philosophical discussion, however, remains clearly rooted in the world of educational practice and its political content.
