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\u003e\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\u003e\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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKristján Kristjánsson\u003c\/strong\u003e is professor of Character Education and Virtue Ethics, and deputy director, Jubilee Centre for Character and Virtues, University of Birmingham.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 31, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52511690326323,"sku":"9780367727970","price":100.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/bHpXVVVqY2ZQU2hGSEpwZm96L1Fpdz09.webp?v=1760328161","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/flourishing-as-the-aim-of-education-a-neo-aristotelian-view-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
