Philosophy & theory of education

Series: Philosophy of Education in Practice

Schools and other forms of education have significant impacts on people’s views about emotions and emotional experiences. This book helps students and educators to better understand emotions and their significance in social life and in education. It shows how we often take it for granted that certain emotions, such as happiness, are ‘positive’, while others are ‘negative’ and how personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, and race, can make an unfair difference when it comes to what emotions are expected or accepted. It also focuses on how emotions are understood as functional and as moral by different theoretical traditions, from psychology to philosophy. Written in an accessible format, the book encourages broad reflection on what emotions are and why they matter, in relation to the aims of education, what it means to be a good person, and equality and social justice.

Reviews for Emotions: Philosophy of Education in Practice

Even when educators figured emotions into theory/practice, feelings were too often assumed to be one’s own, independent of social context and interpersonal interaction. Liz Jackson’s Emotions skewers that assumption — from a crosscultural perspective — and encourages us to refigure the emotional dimensions of educational experience. Both timely and well-argued! -- Barbara S. Stengel, Vanderbilt University, USA In this short and highly accessible book, Jackson takes us on a whistle-stop tour to critically examine the particulars of educating emotions. This book will be of interest to anyone who wants to know more about the educational benefits of a more rounded understanding of compassion, empathy, kindness, resilience and mindfulness, as they are cashed out in learner settings. -- Gerry Dunne, Marino Institute of Education, Ireland
