Twelve essays from philosophy professors and public school teachers apply the holistic theories of process philosophy to educational challenges in today's classrooms. All of the contributors are members of the Association for Process Philosophy of Education (APPE), and count the ideas of Henri Bergson, Alfred North Whitehead, and John Dewey among their major influences. Some of the topics explored include student and teacher motivation; the rhythms of psychological development; and the roles of reason, ethics, and spirituality in education.
