kateraed's review against another edition

5.0

Quite an overview of the themes in her other works, but for anyone who has thought about formation and education it is both substantial enough to be a useful framework while quick enough to not have to revisit familiar components. If you're willing to trust the author, a great place to start. (If you're more critical/argumentative, read one of her longer books.)

At times, her epistemology is so personified it is not only intimate but erotic. Her way to knowing is both an ideal to strive for and a reality that rings true. Highly recommend, especially for any work that seeks to be integrative or to engage the whole person (or really any part of the person in addition to the brain's rote memorization capacity).
