Peace, Value, and Wisdom

The Educational Philosophy of Daisaku Ikeda

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book introduces readers to the Buddhist-based philosophy of education of Daisaku Ikeda. Ikeda's philosophy of education offers human revolution, value creation, and dialogue as counterweights to the violence lurking in today's classrooms. Where education becomes wisdom-based, it transforms learners into keen assessors of their inner lives and establishes a foundation for global citizenship.
