Topics range from computers in schools to metaphor and morality but throughout Scheffler is especially concerned to counteract the narrowing of educational vision accompanying the technological revolution now sweeping education. Offering a background in human nature for understanding human potential, and viewing reason as an outgrowth of symbolic capacity, Scheffler emphasizes its intimate connections with emotion and its teleological productive roles.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - First published in 1991, In Praise of Cognitive Emotions comprises fourteen of Scheffler's most recent essays - all of which challenge contemporary notions of education and rationality. While defending the ideal of rationality, he insists that rationality not be identified with a mental faculty or a mechanism of inference but taken rather as the capactity to grasp principles and purposes and to evaluate them in the light of relevant reasons. Examining a broad range of issues - from computers in school to math education, from metaphor to morality - these essays are unified by Scheffler's conviction of the primacy of critical thought in education.
