In Praise of the Cognitive Emotions (Routledge Revivals)

Challenging contemporary views on education and rationality, this collection of fourteen essays emphasizes the importance of critical thought. The author argues for a broader understanding of rationality, viewing it as the ability to comprehend and assess principles and purposes rather than merely a cognitive process. Covering diverse topics such as the role of computers in classrooms, mathematics education, and the interplay between metaphor and morality, the essays collectively advocate for a more nuanced approach to educational philosophy.
