Contents:
Introduction -- What is (it like to experience) wonder? -- Wonder and the world -- Wonder and the aim of education -- Wonder and moral education -- Wonder and political education -- Implications for policy and practice.
Summary: "Wonder is commonly perceived as akin to curiosity, as stimulating inquiry, and as something that enhances pleasure in learning, but there are many experiences of wonder that have a less obvious place in education. In Wonder and Education, Anders Schinkel theorises a kind of wonder which he calls 'contemplative wonder'. Contemplative wonder opens up space for the consideration of (radical) alternatives wherever it occurs, and in many cases is linked with deep experiences of value; therefore, it is not just important for education in general, but also, more specifically, for moral and political education"-- Provided by publisher.
