Towards a Comprehensive Theory of Human Learning by Peter Jarvis

Towards a Comprehensive Theory of Human Learning by Peter Jarvis

This book assesses theories of learning across all ages to construct a new model for analysing how humans learn.

'It is easy to see how Jarvis’s views are heady and stimulating intellectual fodder for workshops, and certainly learners must feel empowered by being treated as the ultimate and privileged sources of knowledge about learningJarvis is intellectually eclectic on a grand scale, and attempts to contextualise his views within existentialist philosophy, phenomenology, social anthropology, psycho-analysis, and many other schemes of thought. All of this is accomplished with great zest and verve.'
