Synopsis

Designed to spark student reflection on the nature of human thinking and the academic goals of education, this book asks the critical questions―is there more to thinking than information processing, what more is there, and what difference does it make to education. This book contains essays by scholars from widely disparate orientations and disciplines who explore and explicate the human cognitive capacities that transcend computation, as well as substantially affect our judgment and action. Numerous critical issues are addressed from educational standards, to the environmental/social and moral dimensions, to the role of the senses in human development. The goal of this volume is to present readers with images and ideas for reflection.
