«’Clear, thoughtful and spirited, Common Faith: Education, Spirituality and the State offers a provocative but fair analysis of how educators from the time of Dewey have sought to address the apparent spiritual desiccation of our Western society.’ Michael Totterdell, Institute of Education, University of London, UK ’...the author has spent a considerable time weighing up the philosophical and theoretical models relevant to the topic...will no doubt spark off a vigorous exchange of views between those whose hypotheses have been challenged.’ British Journal of Religious Education»
Published in 1998, this book provides a much needed philosophical analysis of the political and educational issues that are raised when spiritual development is regarded as a central educational aim. The author examines the meaning of spirituality in the educational context and provides a suitable educational characterization following a detailed critique of certain ideas put forward by John Dewey, Alistair MacIntyre and Charles Taylor.
