Our survival depends upon creating a compassionate world and an
education system that incorporates compassion for self, for others and
for the planet. Sixteen authors present a comprehensive analysis of
compassion and the political character of pedagogy. Drawing upon new
scientific findings about how the brain works and their understanding of
the political nature of pedagogy, they offer a scientific, spiritual and
educational rationale for curriculum and societal change. The result is
this blueprint for survival, illustrated with numerous practical
examples.
