Rezensionen
"Noddings helps us understand our fascination with war and why education for peace has had so much difficulty gaining a toehold in American classrooms. This book offers not only a cogent critique of the place of war and peace in education but also numerous suggestions for teaching (and living) approaches based in caring. Once again, Noddings demonstrates why philosophy matters in helping us think clearly about what we should be teaching in schools."
