Reclaiming Goodness: Education and the Spiritual Quest begins with the
premise that sound models for achieving both spiritual fulfillment and
the "good life" are lacking in contemporary culture. Arguing that
contemporary education is responsible for having abandoned spirituality
and the cultivation of goodness in people, Hanan A. Alexander advances a
definition of spirituality which acknowledges an integral connection to
education. Reclaiming Goodness charts a way to reintegrate ethical and
spiritual values with the values of critical thought and reason. Written
in accessible and non-technical prose, it will be of interest to
professional educators as well as to a wider audience.
