Learning to Flourish by Of Philosophy Daniel R Denicola

Presents a philosophical examination of the tradition, values, and contemporary prospect of liberal learning. This title offers an exploration of liberal learning: a still-evolving tradition of theory and practice that has dominated and sustained intellectual life and learning in much of the globe for two millennia.

For persons concerned for the fate of liberal education — it does appear to be in jeopardy2 — and engaged with the debates swirling around and within it, Learning to Flourish is a useful resource, even if one is not persuaded by all the argumentsAlthough I am not familiar with all the writers to whom he refers, I think DeNicola does well, for the most part, to identify salient issues and take readers through alternatives and challenges to his claims. -- Karl D. Hostetler * Wiley Online Library *
Learning to Flourish is highly relevant to today’s debates over the nature and value of liberal education. It addresses fundamental issues underpinning any defensible concept of liberal education and speaks compellingly to contemporary challenges. -- Gabriela Martinez Sainz, University of Cambridge * Education Review *
